Robert Bond (robert.bond@bristows.com) is Partner & Notary Public at Bristows LLP in London, UK.
2019 saw a continuation in the increase in data protection rules around the world with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)[1] following on the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).[2]
Organizations that are subject to GDPR have spent a considerable amount of expense and time assessing the “who, what, when, where, why, and how” of their data processing activities while at the same time putting in place a range of policies and procedures to demonstrate their “accountability” with data protection principles under the GDPR.
