THE IRISH COUNCIL for Civil Liberties (ICCL) and others will today criticise and call for reform of Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC).
The Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice will this evening hear from the DPC, ICCL, Austrian privacy activist Max Schrems and solicitor Fred Logue in a discussion on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
This regulation took effect in the EU in May 2018. It imposes fines on those who breach data privacy and security standards.
