Re: GDPR Question - Part 2

Correct.  I believe it applies to US (and EU) citizens while they are in
the EU.  And it doesn't apply to EU citizens while they are in the US
and interacting with US institutions.  Of course, whether any of it
applies to US institutions in the US at all is TBD based on future court
rulings.

I was under the impression that the GDPR protections applied to EU
citizens while they are in the EU.  Regardless of where our systems
and data are residing, the citizenship and location of the individual
is what we were told to focus on. 

 

I find it daunting to sort through the various directions different
interpretations take us.  I am working with our GC and shared
governance groups to get a campus interpretation we can work with.  I
think we’ll be trying to provide this GDPR treatment to all data, as I
think it’s easier than trying to cherry pick whose data was relevant
during which time period. 

 

The good news is this is getting attention from our GC office, and
they’re really starting to focus on records retention and data
governance overall, not just specific compliance issues.  I’m
astounded by the number of departments that haven’t heard of GDPR.

Around January 8, there was an interesting discussion about the scope
of records covered by GPDR.  At one point, John Denune summarized it
nicely as:

From the EDUCAUSE/Tambellini Group webinar, one of the scenarios
presented involved a US faculty member visiting Finland on sabbatical.
While in Finland, the scenario concluded that:

  * All personal data the faculty member sends back to the home
    institution falls under GDPR
  * This includes the personal data of her US PhD students that she
    may send back to the US
  * This also may include all personal data she has with her when she
    returns to the US.

 

So let's say you've determined the scope with your GC.  As an IT
professional, what are you doing to comply?
At this point, we are documenting our existing data privacy owners,
our security officer, our policies on privacy, and reusing existing
policy.  Are you finding an big action that requires attention?

    Good Morning,

     

    We have been having some discussions regarding what population’s
    records are subject to GDPR.  The discussion centers around
    whether or not the records of US citizens that study abroad fall
    under GDPR.  Some say it’s only those who are citizens of the EU. 
    Is there any guidance on this topic?

     

    Thanks and have a great day.

    Group and EDUCAUSE

     

    Good morning,

    Many of us continue to struggle with understanding the scope and
    finer points of the EU GDPR and its application to US higher
    education institutions. To that end, EDUCAUSE and the Tambellini
    Group have been working together to share more information on this
    topic and we are pleased to announce an upcoming webinar that you
    may be interested in.

     

    The jointly sponsored webinar will be held on Tuesday, October 24,
    2017, from 1-2pm ET.  You can register for the webinar and read
    more about the webinar content here: 
    https://marketing.thetambellinigroup.com/acton/media/10722/gdpr-and-us-higher-education-institutions-webinar

     

    As GDPR questions have been coming up on our various EDUCAUSE
    lists, we have been sharing those questions with the Tambellini
    group so that they can be specifically addressed in the upcoming
    webinar.

     

    Kind regards,

    Joanna
