employees and contractors

whole process is lawful, including candidate vetting
and interviewing
- How to ensure that monitoring in the workplace
is carried out legally

effective management of staff access requests

of staff information can be retained and when it
must be destroyed

C: Sending Personal Data
Abroad
Workshop led by Peter Carey -
Solicitor, Charles Russell
Organisations need to transfer data abroad for a
variety of reasons. Examples include an
Ireland-based subsidiary sending staff information to
its parent located abroad, using call centres or
dictation services in India, using a website hosting
service in the US or simply having a networked IT system
where one or more offices are located abroad.
The ban on transfers of data outside Europe has been
an ongoing challenge for many organisations since the
1995 Data Protection Directive was adopted. In
practice, there are a number of ways to legitimise
transfers, but finding the right solution can be a
difficult decision to make. This Workshop, focuses
on the various options and provides practical guidance
on how to implement the right one. It includes:
- An understanding of the data export restrictions
- An analysis of the exemptions from the export
ban contained in the Data Protection Acts 1988 and
2003
- When the use of model contractual clauses might
be the best solution
- Why Safe Harbor might be a good option for
transfers to the US
- An analysis of the fundamentals of Binding
Corporate Rules
