Join us on November 1, 2018 from 2pm to 3pm to learn how Europe’s new General Data Protection Regulation could impact your business.

Workshop Overview and outline:  A few months ago you may have noticed an influx of emails asking you to opt in to receiving future correspondence because of “GDPR.” GDPR stands for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which is a new, rather complicated, set of laws governing EU residents’ data protection and privacy.  Even if your business is based in the USA, GDPR can impact your business operations and your legal liabilities.  There are severe monetary penalties if a company fails to comply with GDPR

During this GDPR 101 workshop, Daliah Saper, Principal Attorney at Saper Law and Enrcio Schaeffer, Founding Attorney at Traverse Legal, will provide an outline of key GDPR provisions and explain the necessary changes businesses will need to make to their terms of service and privacy policies in order to be in compliance.  Software developer, Achyuta Akella, will go over the technical aspects of complying with GDPR including encryption requirements, managing user logins, handling user information after logging out, setting security questions, and securing communication with an overview of when to use HTTPS.

Additional topics covered by all speakers will include how and where to present terms and conditions as well as opt outs to data collection, which data to anonymize, handling information of users who have left the service, data protection officer responsibilities, and implementing the right to access, privacy, and data portability.

Prerequisites for the Workshop:  Attendees should assess whether they have customers in the EU or market to clients or customers based in the EU.  Attendees should also make a list of all third parties with which they share customer information.

Audience:  Business owners, developers, CIOs, CTOs, product officers, designers, marketers, and managers.
