Description

The CIPP-E: Information Privacy Professional (Europe) certification is designed for professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of data privacy laws and regulations across Europe, with a primary focus on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This course provides comprehensive knowledge on how to navigate and apply European privacy laws, the ethical responsibilities of managing personal data, and the role of a privacy professional in an organization.

Course Objectives:

• Understanding the GDPR: The course provides an in-depth analysis of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which is the cornerstone of European data protection law. The GDPR focuses on the protection of personal data, individuals' privacy rights, and accountability in managing data. It emphasizes the importance of compliance in all stages of data processing and handling.

• Key Principles of Privacy: Learn about the essential principles behind the GDPR, such as transparency, lawfulness, fairness, purpose limitation, data minimization, accuracy, storage limitation, and integrity and confidentiality. Understanding these principles will allow privacy professionals to enforce and audit data processing activities more effectively.

• Data Protection and Privacy Rights: The course covers the rights of individuals under GDPR, including the right to access, the right to erasure (also known as the "right to be forgotten"), the right to rectification, and the right to data portability. It will also delve into the implications for businesses when handling requests related to these rights.

• Privacy Governance: Explore the concept of privacy governance, focusing on data protection by design and by default. It also covers the necessity of appointing a Data Protection Officer (DPO), maintaining privacy impact assessments (PIAs), and ensuring privacy controls are woven into business processes from the ground up.

• Data Breaches and Security Measures: This course highlights how to identify, assess, and manage data breaches. It covers GDPR’s data breach notification requirements, the response process, and the role of data controllers and processors in preventing and managing incidents. Participants will learn how to implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect personal data.

• International Data Transfers: One of the key challenges in global business operations is managing cross-border data transfers. The CIPP-E course provides guidance on international data transfers under the GDPR, including the use of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs), and the impact of decisions like the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield.

• Enforcement and Penalties: A critical aspect of GDPR is its enforcement mechanisms, which include significant fines for non-compliance. This module will cover the enforcement powers of data protection authorities, the process of auditing organizations, and the potential penalties for failing to meet GDPR requirements.

• Privacy Program Implementation: You will learn how to establish and maintain an effective privacy program that meets the legal obligations of the GDPR. This includes developing and enforcing policies, conducting training, implementing technical solutions, and ensuring an organization-wide commitment to privacy protection.
