GDPR Update: CNIL Google Decision

We held an Information Privacy, Security and Governance webinar titled “GDPR Update: CNIL Google Decision.” Jeremiah Posedel discussed the French Data Protection Authority’s (CNIL) recent €50 million fine against Google under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – the highest fine imposed by an EU supervisory authority under the GDPR to date.

The webinar covered:

• Background information on the GDPR
• The GDPR’s transparency and notice requirements
• The GDPR’s affirmative consent requirement
• Details of the complaint against Google
• CNIL’s findings
• CNIL’s jurisdiction over Google
• Factors influencing the sanctions imposed against Google
