Check out coverage of Bindl v. Commission by Emma Woollacott for Forbes featuring IAPP's Joe Jones, "Court Concludes That European Commission Broke GDPR Rules Itself". Read here: https://lnkd.in/eN63mngE "While the ruling may seem entertaining, it could set a precedent for a flood of small GDPR claims, according to Joe Jones, director of research and insights at the International Association of Privacy Professionals. "'The amount awarded may seem modest, but multiply that by thousands, if not millions, and welcome to a future where data protection class actions brought by the likes of [privacy campaign group] noyb.eu, for example, could ratchet up the consequences for non-compliance,' he said. 'The EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework comes out of the ruling unscathed, given the changed fact patterns, but the ruling on damages is a huge development.'"

As part of the IAPP's 25th anniversary, we will celebrate 25 trailblazing innovators and 25 defining moments in the last quarter century that helped establish the privacy and digital governance profession. Throughout the course of the year, we'll highlight these transformative individuals and pivotal moments that have helped inspire and guide us as we navigate this rapidly evolving digital landscape. Though many of these individuals and moments originated on both sides of the Atlantic, we recognize the truly global scope of privacy and digital responsibility as it continues to develop around the world each day and note there are many more individuals and moments that have shaped the profession. First up, Alan Westin.

“The new year is only just underway but the EU data protection landscape is already potentially in line for an impactful shake-up.
