In the context of the Data Protection Day, the National Commission for Data Protection, in collaboration with the APDL and Security made in Lëtzebuerg, organized a conference on the challenges ahead of the European regulation on data protection, followed by a panel discussion on risk analysis including issues related to Big Data.
Following words of welcome from Tine A. Larsen (President of the CNPD) and Nathalie Sprauer (President of the APDL), Cédric Nedelec (Administrator of APDL) made a presentation about the new European legislation on the protection of personal data.
This presentation was followed by a round table with the participation of Thierry Petitgenet (CASES), Eric Krier (BEE SECURE), Pascal Steichen (CIRCL), Alain Herrmann (CNPD) and Florence Thomas (General Inspectorate of Social Security).
28 January 2015 : Ninth Data Protection Day
Why the 28 January? This date corresponds to the anniversary of the opening for signature of the Council of Europe's Convention 108 for the Protection of individuals with regard to automatic processing of personal data which has been for over 30 years a cornerstone of data protection, in Europe and beyond.
Data Protection Day is now celebrated globally and is called the "Privacy Day" outside Europe.
