Children's data and online harms
We look at some of the latest guidance and regulation relating to processing children's personal data with a focus on the UK, Spain and the USA. We also look at the use of children's data in the context of protecting them from harmful online content using age verification and assurance, at the overlap between the ICO's Children's Code and the UK's Online Safety Act, and at the issues engaged when children's personal data is used to train or is otherwise processed by AI.

Managing HR data is an ongoing exercise for employers.

MoreData sharing
Data exports continue to be high on the agenda but data sharing (of personal and non-personal data) is being looked at much more widely by the EU and the UK in the context of providing individuals with control over their data, opening up the potential of big data, and breaking down barriers to competition. We look at incoming EU legislation relating to data sharing with particular focus on the draft Data Act, as well as at the ICO's Code of Practice on Data Sharing, Privacy Shield 2.0 and data sharing requirements for the UK's Pensions Dashboard.
MoreHealth data – getting the right balance between innovation and data protection
Personal health data attracts special protection but also benefits from exemptions under UK and EU data protection law. Have legislators and regulators got the balance between innovation and privacy right or do the rules overly restrict advances in healthcare provision and research?

We look at the UK's implementation of the GDPR journalistic exemption, at the ICO's recently published draft Code of Practice on journalism, the use of data protection law in media cases, and at the tensions between the right to privacy and to freedom of expression.
