The new Data Protection Directive has largely been forgotten in the GDPR hiatus. Yet many organisations that have law enforcement responsibilities need to apply this Directive and all organisations are on the “receiving end” of requests for data sharing from law enforcement agencies. That is why the Directive is important – and that is why we are the first organisation to put it on the agenda at an event. Please find details of our UPDATE session held in London on Monday May 16th. The morning session is devoted to the forthcoming Regulation and Directive; the afternoon session is devoted to other topical issues 1. “Where the Data Protection Directive differs from the GDPR”.
