The German Institute for Legal Departments and Corporate Lawyers (diruj) is holding its congress for IT law, security and data protection in Cologne from 17-18 March 2025. GT Berlin is supporting the event as a partner and Dr. Philip Radlanski, specialist in data protection and cyber security, will speak at the opening evening on the topic “Use and protection of data between the GDPR and Data Act”.
Striking the balance between data protection and data use is becoming increasingly complex. While the GDPR establishes strict rules for the protection of personal data, the Data Act is creating new opportunities and requirements for data sharing. Companies are thus faced with the challenge of reconciling innovation and compliance: How can a data strategy be designed to be legally compliant? What risks need to be avoided? What opportunities are emerging? Among other things, he will shed light on how the European legal framework for data is developing and what strategic considerations companies should be making now.
