Time: 6:30 - 9:00pm Venue: University of London Institute in Paris, 9 - 11 rue de Constantine, 75007 Paris France
The Centre for Commercial Law Studies (CCLS), Queen Mary University of London, is holding the sixth seminar of the series in Paris on Regulating Cloud Computing and the Internet of Things. This seminar on Cloud Computing and the GDPR will be presented by Ulrich Wuermeling, Visiting Professor at CCLS. The GDPR introduces specific requirements for processor agreements and direct legal obligations of processors. The rules are designed for traditional data centres and create new challenges for cloud computing. The presentation will look into these challenges and potential solutions. It will also look into the unforeseeable future for international data transfers in light of the recent jurisprudence of the CJEU and potential Brexit scenarios. The seminar will be followed by a drinks reception, as of 20h.
In collaboration with the Association Française des Juristes d'Entreprise.
