Life with GDPR

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?

Bonus Episode – Edye Edens

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.

Welcome to the Spring Season for the Great Women in Compliance Podcast. Today, we have a first on the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, our first guest host. Our producer, Tom Fox recently interviewed Edye Edens, a Consultant in Human Subject Research Compliance for First Class Solutions, Inc. Tom contacted us and said the interview was more a #GWIC style podcast than his standard interview and asked if he could post it on the Great Women in Compliance Podcast and we said yes.

Tom and Edye discuss her background growing up in a small town in Oklahoma and then explore her academic and professional background at length and how each role has influenced her career in compliance. Edye has worked for a large academic institution in Indiana and has been involved in numerous human rights-focused, non-governmental organizations both in the U.S. and abroad while also living overseas.

Edye now works in the area of human subject research compliance and details the challenges unique to that profession. They discuss working both in-house in compliance and as an outside consultant and the benefits and encounters each perspective brings to the compliance profession.

You can subscribe to the Great Women in Compliance podcast on any podcast player by searching for it and we welcome new subscribers to our podcast.
