CIF Legal Update November 16

Every month I update you on key legal developments affecting our sector. 

While the weather remains distinctly BREXIT, this month I am going to comment on:

• The UK Government has confirmed that it will be implementing the General Data Protection Regulation
• Germany’s data protection commissioner to order Facebook to cease processing and to delete any data already obtained from WhatsApp
• The UK Information Commissioner recommends Personal liability for Directors & Groups challenge Privacy Shield
• A New EU Trademark Regulation
• The UK National Cyber Security Five-Year Strategy
• Manager held liable for Copyright Infringement
• A Draft Report on the Digital Content Directive

I welcome any and all feedback from members of CIF. If you have any questions please contact me directly.
