What rules to follow to comply with the GDPR when collecting personal data for the purpose of representing interests?
Answering Public affairs managers questions
As part of its Network bringing together the Heads of Public Affairs of tech, Hindsight, a public affairs consultancy firm, organizes, in partnership with the law firm Momentum and the data protection strategy consultancy firm Privacy Strategy , a webconference to learn from a CNIL decision which has a major impact on their daily practice.
An impacting CNIL decision
Indeed, the heavy sanction imposed by the CNIL on the company MONSANTO COMPANY for violation of the RGPD within the framework of the data processing of 200 political personalities imposes an additional dimension to the obligations of transparency which govern the activities of representation of interests in France and in Brussels.
Which compliance tools ?
The nature and sensitivity of the data in question, their method of collection (scraping, open data) or the purpose of their processing (contacting, mapping, rating) call for the prior implementation of GDPR compliance tools which may differ depending on the situation: impact analyzes, client-agency contracts, information systems for public decision-makers, etc. These are all prerequisites that professionals must more than ever incorporate into their actions to represent interests in order to control the legal, financial and reputational risks associated with a CNIL sanction procedure.
