GPEN SWEEP FINDS SIGNIFICANT INVOLVEMENT OF DATA PROTECTION AUTHORITIES IN COVID-19 COMBATTING SOLUTIONS
As in previous years, the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority (“GRA”), as the Information Commissioner, has taken part in the annual Global Privacy Enforcement Network Sweep (the “GPEN Sweep”).
The GPEN Sweep explored how the global Data Protection Authority community engaged with local governments, to identify and understand the risks associated with COVID-19 initiatives, and to make recommendations to improve compliance with privacy and data protection laws. It also sought to understand what, if any, enforcement action DPAs might be considering, and what education and outreach activities DPAs have conducted.
