Data Privacy in the EU: What You Need To Know

The European Union has always been a trendsetter regarding privacy laws, establishing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – the toughest privacy and security law in the world – in 2018. Now, in the face of booming AI applications, the European Union has established the AI Act. It went into force in August 2024, becoming the first legislation of its kind in the world.

Next, the European Union (EU) Data Act will take effect on September 12, 2025. This Act is a key part of the EU’s Data Strategy and will introduce new rules for data access, sharing, and portability. That’s not it: the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) will come into force on January 17, 2025. This regulation creates a binding, comprehensive information and communication technology (ICT) risk management framework for the EU financial sector.

What is the current state of European privacy laws? What are the EU AI Act and Data Act and how will they be enforced? How will data privacy evolve in the EU in 2025 and how to stay compliant?

Our panelists will guide you through the intricacies of EU data privacy laws, clarifying legal frameworks and compliance requirements.

• How the GDPR and AI Act have advanced the data privacy industry
• What’s next for personal data processing, international transfers, and enforcement of the EU data privacy laws
