Privacy Conference: The tech-focused conference for Data Protection & Privacy.

Few topics are discussed as controversially as the GDPR by experts around the globe. However, Data privacy is crucial for sustainable innovations in the industry and society of today. The confidentiality of data was one of the most important shifts in the data protection framework that has changed people’s view on privacy. After all those changes, the upcoming e-privacy regulation raises numerous questions and tasks for companies and privacy experts, working within the European Union and across the globe.

New technologies – like AI, Big Data, Cloud Computing or Blockchain – promise enormous opportunities. We examined and discussed all these aspects and challenges together with 1,000 leading privacy experts from various Data Protection Authorities, global companies, outstanding startups, and policy makers on 27 & 28 September 2021 at the 7th Bitkom Privacy Conference online.

Bitkom Position Paper: ePrivacy Regulation

The German Presidency has recently published an Option Paper for further discussions on the proposed ePrivacy Regulation. While we welcome some of the proposed options, Bitkom still has concerns about the e-Privacy proposal (see here for our previous Position Papers). The EU Commission's goal of 'better regulation' is still not reflected in the option paper currently on the table and drafted by the German presidency.

Bitkom Position Paper: EDPB Guidelines Interplay PSD2 & GDPR

Bitkom welcomes the opportunity to comment on the European Data Protection Board’s (EDPB) draft Guidelines on the interplay of the Second Payment Services Directive and the GDPR (EDPB Guidelines). We believe that more cooperation and exchange between data protection authorities and practitioners is needed to translate the legal text of the GDPR into practice and reduce legal uncertainty, especially in the context of the interplay with the Second Payment Services Directive (PSD2) as well as with other legislation.
