In December 2017, Article 29 Working Party ("WP29") adopted a guideline on consent and the obligation of transparency, which is currently open for comments until 23 January 2018. In line with this, in the UK the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has published a Children and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) guidance, which is also open for consultation; the deadline for this is 28 February 2018.

How to update privacy notices to ensure compliance has been widely discussed over the last six months, as organisations are finding it challenging to include all the information that will be mandatory under GDPR. The WP29 guideline clarifies the meanings of being "concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible", and using a "clear and plain language", as the ICO did in its guidance on " privacy notices, transparency and control".

To Fine Or Not To Fine: EDPB Confirms Default Position In GDPR Enforcement Should Be To Fine

The European Data Protection Board has published draft guidelines proposing a fundamental shift in GDPR enforcement: a presumption that fines should be imposed for non-minor infringements, with a deliberately low bar for establishing negligence. Organizations will need to demonstrate robust compliance programs and documented decision-making to potentially avoid penalties, as regulators move from asking "should we fine?" to "can we justify not fining?"
