Hi All,

Please find attached a recent white paper on GDPR Compliance that my
company, Lookout, recently published. This is not meant to be 'salesy' at
all, just sharing given the relevancy.
Thank you.

Kind Regards,

I don’t think there’s consensus on some of the statements made in that
particular webcast. The law is about where subjects reside, so the idea
that data about a US resident transmitted from the EU to the US would be
in-scope of this law doesn’t fit with most of the reading/listening I have
done on the topic.  I personally felt the speaker for that session took a
hardline compared to the other commentaries I have seen on the topic.

Brad,



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, from this webinar GDPR scope seems to be based on the data flow of
personal information from the EU to somewhere else. It doesn’t seem to
matter the citizenship or the residency of the subject. At least that was
my take based on scenarios in the webinar. I also echo that working with
legal counsel is the way to go to help clarify as there seem to be a lot of
interpretations out there.

In the case of GDPR, I strongly recommend working with legal counsel about
how your institution wishes to handle it.  International
extra-jurisdictional law is an interesting space and while I think there is
some consistency on the interpretation of the intent of GDPR, it seems like
different institutions have different views of what that means for them.



As to Ben’s point about the law not applying to EU citizens residing
outside the EU (definitely true from my understanding), here’s another way
to think about it: In order for countries to be sovereign, they aren’t
subject to the local laws of other countries. So, some part of the equation
must be within EU borders for the law to apply.  In other situations, the
focus has been on the data physically residing within borders.  In the case
of EU GDPR, it doesn’t care where the data resides, only that the human
subject of the data is within EU borders.  This creates interesting
discussions about individuals who are temporarily within EU borders
(visiting for a week, studying/working for a semester, etc.).

expanding a bit (and with the standard IANAL caveat, it is my evolving
understanding that...),  the regulation also states that EU citizens living
abroad (ie, outside EU-covered states) are NOT covered by the regulation
while they remain abroad.  Ie. ex-pats aren't covered, so your faculty
members who may have EU citizenship but live & work at your US-based
institution are not covered by GDPR (erm, unless they go visit the homeland
and then exchange PI covered data while there).



  yes, ymmv ...

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.

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
