Description
The European Union General Data Protection Regulation will become applicable from 25 May 2018 and will affect investment funds and their service providers. The panel will discuss the obligations to identify the data that will be processed or transferred and to recognise the legal or contractual reasons for the processing or transfer. The concepts of data controller and data processor will be analysed in the context of an environment where a cascade of delegation of functions has become customary, if not the norm. The means of notification and disclosure of information on the processing in fund documentation or otherwise will also be discussed.
