ICCA-IBA Joint Task Force on Data Protection Releases Consultation Draft of ICCA-IBA Roadmap to Data Protection for Public Comment

The ICCA-IBA Joint Task Force on Data Protection in International Arbitration is pleased to announce the release of the consultation draft of the ICCA-IBA Roadmap to Data Protection in International Arbitration for public comment.

 

While most data protection laws are mandatory in arbitration proceedings, they do not address how they should be applied to arbitration. In the absence of specific guidance from regulators, the ICCA-IBA Roadmap is intended to help arbitration professionals identify and understand the data protection and privacy obligations to which they may be subject in an international arbitration context. It is also accompanied by a set of Annexes that provide greater detail, practical information, and checklists, as well as examples of data protection notices and a sample data protection protocol.

 

ICCA invites all those interested to provide their comments on the draft Roadmap before Tuesday 31 March 2020 by emailing the ICCA Bureau at bureau@arbitration-icca.org.
