I am an associate in our London Privacy and Data Protection Group, advising organisations on UK and EU data protection law, including GDPR and ePrivacy rules.

Ruth Boardman and Katerina Tassi have written an insightful article for the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) covering the Court of Justice of the European Union’s interpretation of EU General Data Protection Regulation provisions in recent cases. In the article they delve into a recent case, C-683/21, where the court held a controller can be liable for processing carried out by its processor.
