Wilker and Beach Break Down GDPR Compliance at Tonkon Talk

At the June 27 Tonkon Talk, attorneys Steven Wilker and Eric Beach led a discussion on the newly rolled out General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and how it impacts Oregon companies that target or collect information about customers in the EU.

Steven and Eric broke down the key provisions of GDPR, and helped companies understand how they may be subject to GDPR compliance due to direct or indirect EU customer outreach. They shared information on how companies can assess existing data security practices, and putting into place appropriate policies and procedures for privacy, terms of use, and cybersecurity.

Steven is Co-Chair of the firm’s Information Privacy & Security Practice Group, of which Eric is also a member. Both attorneys are also members of the firm’s Intellectual Property Practice Group.
