American Perspectives on Transatlantic Data Flows

ORGANIZED BY SCHELLER COLLEGE OF BUSINESS, LAW AND ETHICS AREA

Cost: Free

The EU and the United States are at an impasse when it comes to transatlantic data transfers. After the invalidation of the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield negotiators on both sides of the Atlantic are trying to find a way forward to guarantee privacy rights and enable transatlantic data flows.

This session featuring Peter Swire, a leading U.S. scholar and former government official on these issues, follows the Wilson Center’s June 24 discussion with Austrian privacy activist Max Schrems. Having heard perspectives from Europe, the focus this time will be on U.S. perspectives.

How do U.S. views on privacy rights and data flows compare with European understandings? What might a “comprehensive deal” look like between the U.S. and the EU? What are the fundamental roadblocks and how can they be overcome? Has the appetite for stricter regulations increased in the U.S.?

Join Georgia Tech CIBER and Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business for a transatlantic conversation on July 1st at 10 AM ET/4 PM CET to discuss the broader implications of the EU-U.S. impasse on data privacy.
