From 25 May 2018, #GDPR introduces a requirement for organisations to #report personal #data #breaches to the relevant supervisory #authority, where the breach presents a risk to the affected individuals. Organisations must do this within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. Where a breach is likely to result in a high risk to the affected individuals, organisations must also inform those individuals without undue delay. Please see guidance below in relation to notifying Data Protection Commission Ireland of a breach.

The bill calls for gradually increasing penalties of up to 10 euros per individual item of clothing by 2030, as well for a ban on advertising for such products.

"The European Union is getting closer to passing new rules that would mandate the bulk scanning of digital messages — including encrypted ones. On Thursday, EU governments will adopt a position on the proposed legislation, which is aimed at detecting child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The vote will determine whether the proposal has enough support to move forward in the EU’s law-making process. The law, first introduced in 2022, would implement an 'upload moderation' system that scans all your digital messages, including shared images, videos, and links. Each service required to install this 'vetted' monitoring technology must also ask permission to scan your messages. If you don’t agree, you won’t be able to share images or URLs. As if this doesn’t seem wild enough, the proposed legislation appears to endorse and reject end-to-end encryption at the same time. At first, it highlights how end-to-end encryption 'is a necessary means of protecting fundamental rights' but then goes on to say that encrypted messaging services could 'inadvertently become secure zones where child sexual abuse material can be shared or disseminated.'" #Privacy #GDPR #DataProtection #Encryption Subscribe to EDPO's newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/dwK8sde *This article was not written by EDPO. The opinions and views of the author(s) do not necessarily represent those of EDPO. https://lnkd.in/eZZNzQsZ

#Amazon-powered #AI #cameras are now being used to monitor and analyze passengers’ #emotions by employing a combination of “smart” CCTV cameras, which can detect objects or movements from the images they capture, along with older cameras that have their video feeds connected to cloud-based analysis software. The initiative has been trialed in eight train stations across the #UK over the last two years, with the aim of enhancing passenger safety and improving customer service. https://lnkd.in/epA2WeH6
