This webinar has been postponed to October. More details coming soon.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has applied since 25 May 2018. It focuses on protecting natural persons in relation to the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data. GDPR embodies European values around individual agency and freedom, helping to safeguard people from a digital transition that can unfold without their active control.

GDPR turns ten next year (2026). In the meantime, technology—and people’s online behaviour—has changed dramatically. Periodic updates are therefore both expected and necessary.

In this webinar, we will:

1. Show GDPR’s global influence, with examples from Latin America, and highlight InDiCo-Global’s work with local partners.
2. Discuss current revisions and proposals, including simplification efforts such as record-keeping exemptions for SMEs with fewer than 500 employees. We’ll also touch on Denmark’s Presidency initiative on Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) detection—a proposal some argue may conflict with GDPR principles (e.g., data minimisation, lawful processing, necessity/proportionality, fairness and transparency; see the EU “Chat Control” proposal, Aug 2025).
3. Explore the AI–GDPR relationship, and consider what a distinctively European AI vision could look like—more of a narrative than the current AI Act alone.
