Heated tension: business solutions versus privacy regulations. Presentations from the Beltug Debate Room (users only): 17 June 2021
At Beltug, we increasingly receive questions on the balance between business solutions and privacy regulations. We also observe a growing frustration among our members (both private organisations and public institutions), who find themselves in a seemingly impossible situation.

On the one hand, the business wants to work with customer-friendly and modern solutions (such as sales software or mailing tools). On the other hand, a DPO must advise against many of these tools, because of the Schrems II decision and the advice from Data Protection authorities to be careful about working with non-EU cloud-based solutions.
In this Debate Room, we had a look at the extent of the issue and the real-life consequences. Amongst others, we came to the conclusion that there is currently no good solution.
The presentation from the event is available to Beltug members (after login).
