team Trilegal, TMT, India's New Data Protection Bill: Based on GDPR, But Different, CRi 2020, 1-7
Recognising the truly global nature of data processing operations, India has studied
various global data protection frameworks elsewhere before ultimately modelling its
current Personal Data Protection Bill (PDP-Bill). Although largely based on the General
Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the PDP-Bill contains several deviations and helpful
improvements for data protection management. This article provides a brief overview
of key provisions of the PDP-Bill highlighting its significant and unique additions
to the concert of global data protection regimes.
Rezlauf, Iana, EU Framework for Handling Big Datasets Mixed of Personal and Non-personal Data, CRi 2020, 7-13
Adequate handling of mixed big datasets is a major challenge. Distinguishing between
personal and non-personal data is not only increasingly difficult, but also not necessarily
guarantee overall compliance, since non-personal data might include data regulated
by patent law, copyright law or some other regulatory regimes. This article offers
how to define big mixed datasets, focuses on the way mixed big datasets are to be
handled by the EU-companies and summarizes the current legal EU-framework on data
processing highlighting its problems.
Kaufmann, Julia / Häferer, Katja / Grimhardt, Kerstin, The new EU Whistleblowing Directive, CRi 2020, 14-17
In December 2019, the Directive (EU) 2019/1937 on the protection of persons who report
breaches of Union law (“Whistleblowing Directive”) entered into force. Member States
are required to transpose the Whistleblowing Directive into national law and to apply
such national laws as of 17 December 2021. The article presents the scope and purpose
as well as the new reporting system of the Whistleblowing Directive (I.) and takes
a look at the extent to which Member States may deviate from these new requirements
(II.) as well as at the changes for German employment law (III.).
