Earlier this month, we published our third Workplace Data
Privacy Update which covers key developments in workplace data
privacy across 18 different jurisdictions. For those short on time,
we have summarised some of the key developments below.
Since welcoming the start of the new year, data privacy
practitioners worldwide have seen major developments including, key
rulings concerning employee data and workplace monitoring, major
fines issued for data breaches, emerging legislative changes, and
proposed growth opportunities in the realm of artificial
intelligence.
The UK has seen government push for the development of AI,
recently publishing the AI Opportunities Action Plan to reinforce
the country's commitment to a pro-innovation regulatory
approach. Additionally, the Information Commissioner's Office
have reprimanded an NHS Trust for failing to respond to subject
access requests promptly, highlighting the importance of
prioritising data management practices.
