DIGITALEUROPE’s input on Automated Individual Decision Making & Data Breach Notification – WP29 FabLab II Workshop

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

DIGITALEUROPE, as the voice of the digital technology industry in Europe, welcomes the opportunity to take part in the Article 29 Working Party’s (“WP29”) upcoming “FabLab II Conference”, which will cover the topics of consent, data breach notification and profiling. DIGITALEUROPE continues to believe that the effective implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) will require a joint effort between all stakeholders built on mutual trust. We therefore welcome the decision of the WP29 to host a second FabLab Conference aimed at gathering valuable in-person input from the data protection community.

As DIGITALEUROPE has been placed within the “consent” workshop and will be limited to providing in-person feedback to this sole issue, we wish to share with you our preliminary views on the topic of automated decision making, including profiling, and data breach notification which hold an equal level of importance for our members. DIGITALEUROPE has structured our comments in the following manner.
