In a four-part series, Conyers continues its series on
different topics relating to Bermuda's privacy legislation,
including: why we need privacy legislation and its purpose, how do
we prepare for PIPA and what are our rights as individuals? In this
third part, Conyers discusses the role and requirements of privacy
officers.
Getting ready for PIPA may seem daunting — PIPA being
Bermuda's new(ish) privacy legislation, the Personal
Information and Protection Act 2016. While we continue to await
publication of the date that PIPA's obligations will come into
force, many organisations are wisely already underway with their
preparations. Someone who could, and should, be crucial to the
preparatory tasks is an organisation's privacy officer. In this
third part of the Conyers PIPA series, we discuss the role and
requirements of this position.
