Actual data protection law in Ukraine and forecasts for its EU-GDPR compliance

In this privacyespresso we discuss with our expert from Ukraine Oksana Zadniprovska, Partner of the law firm Axon.Partners, about the actual data protection framework in Ukraine and how this keeps being a relevant business in the country.

Oksana details what are the main laws, when they were adopted and underlines when and where they are similar to what we know as best practices in the sector. Then, she provides us with 2-3 tips and good reasons to comply with privacy laws for businesses coming from or having business with Ukraine such as reporting obligations, the level of consumers’ privacy awareness, the enforcement capabilities and related risks.

To conclude she makes some forecasts on the next development of the privacy law detailing Ukraine’s ambitions also as an EU candidate with a GDPR-based law.

Insights on EU-US and UK-US data protection Frameworks

Over the course of the session, we explored the significance of the EU-US and UK-US data protection frameworks and how businesses outside of the EU and UK should pay attention to these new regulations.

Oksana emphasised the importance of these frameworks for non-EU countries such as Ukraine, particularly when dealing with global operations and #datatransfers. She highlighted how compliance with these frameworks can enhance the security of data transfers and build trust with partners.

She also delved into practical considerations for businesses, emphasising the need for thorough audits, transparent communication with #datasubjects, and engaging #privacy experts from the outset to ensure compliance with evolving regulations and efficient data management practices.

Join us for further discussion at the PrivacyRules conference in Brussels on 14 November.
