Privacy Shield 3


Jonathan Armstrong and Tom Fox return for another episode of Life with GDPR. In this episode, consider the recently announced EU/US resolution to allow data transfer from the EU to the United States through the mechanism of Privacy Shield 3. Some of the issues we consider include:

  1. Is it Déjà vu all over again?
  2. What about consent and standard contractual clauses as a basis for data transfer?
  3. What was the court’s ruling?
  4. Why will double due diligence be required going forward?
  5. What about the UK?
  6. What does Max Shrems have to say?

Ethics Madness

Welcome to the Greetings and Felicitations, a podcast where I explore topics which might not seem to be directly related to compliance but clearly influence our profession. In this episode, Jason Meyer and Tom Fox continue the annual tradition begun by Jason of Ethics Madness, a show where we look at the intersection of sports and ethics during March Madness. We have used a variety of social media over the years to broadcast Ethics Madness and this year we use the podcast format. Highlights include:

1. Greetings, and welcome to Ethics Madness, a crossover episode of on Eight Mindsets and Greetings and Felicitations.
2. About the ethics madness concept and history.
3. Ethics and sports:
A. Formula 1
B. Russian doping at the Olympics.
4. Ethics and hoops.
A. Women’s March madness, and the ethics story behind why this is the first year we can say that March Madness for the Women’s Tournament. Plus USWNT Soccer and equal pay agreement.
B. Men’s March madness – Michigan, Juwan Howard and the handshake ritual.
5. Sports as an apt metaphor in compliance communications and training.
6. Odds and ends.
7. Takeaways and a Theme Song.
