Tune in for our August 2024 roundtable about three hot data privacy developments. Yugo Nagashima and Brio St. Amour join the Data Privacy Detective to plumb meaning beneath the headlines:

• The Netherland Data Protection Authority fines Uber 290 million Euros for data transfers of sensitive private information.
• Minnesota adopts a data privacy code.
• Data brokers emerge from the shadows after an enormous database hack and a call to action.

Consider what happens when the European Court of Justice invalidates a U.S./EU safe harbor, and before the next one is in place, a company transfers data to the U.S. without complying with GDPR requirements - so says a Dutch regulator, levying a 290 million fine.

Minnesota adopts a state data privacy code, joining about a third of the states to do so. Is it a copycat or pioneer?

After what some claim was the biggest data hack in history - exposing highly sensitive personal information when a data broker’s database was taken and offered for sale on the dark web, one leading commentator issues a call to action for regulation and business self-action. Is the spotlight now on data brokers?
