Re: GDPR Question

Folks,

“Most everything I've seen and council advice we've received would indicate that a US student studying abroad would 
indeed be entitled to protections under the GDPR”

That’s pretty much it: any data about living individuals that is either imported into the EU from elsewhere, or is 
generated about them while they are physically in the EU, is subject to GDPR protection.  The latter point raises 
interesting questions about what you have to do to transfer any generated data back out again, especially to places 
that don’t have an ‘adequacy finding’ in place.

Regards

Hi Jim -

Most everything I've seen and council advice we've received would indicate that a US student studying abroad would 
indeed be entitled to protections under the GDPR.

In fact, some have gone so far as to suggest that based on the somewhat vague definition in Article 3:  "...data 
subjects who are in the Union..." would include anyone who was physically within the bounds of the EU - whether expat, 
resident, citizen or "just visiting".

YMMV though, so definitely worth engaging your GC to get their take and enable your senior management to make an 
informed risk decision about the whole thing.

Brian

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.

Subject: [SECURITY] October 24 GDPR Webinar from Tambellini 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
