Since the first fine was imposed by the GBA for a cookie policy that did not comply with the GDPR, many organizations have had questions. Not exceptional, because the legislation is very complex and the fines can be high.

It has been about two years since the General Data Protection Regulation (GPR in Dutch or GDPR in English) became applicable. As was the case last year, it is time to make a preliminary analysis of the most high-profile enforcement actions taken by supervisory authorities over the past year and to forecast what organisations can expect in the last quarter of 2020 and 2021 and in the coming years in terms of data protection and GDPR. 

In this webinar by Politeia, Pieter Gryffroy will discuss a number of basic principles of privacy and smart city: about how to capture and store camera images, how to process issues and how to obtain permission. 

The second part of this webinar focusses on answering specific questions about projects. Which questions or challenges are you facing? Are there certain ambiguities that prevent you from getting into a project?

The webinar will be held in Dutch.

On Tuesday 8 September, Geert Somers and Bernd Fiten will be speakers in the Privacy Rules webinar ''Tracking Technologies implementation, EU GDPR and E-privacy Regulation: is it all about cookies?''
