Hi !
As many of us prepare to take a well-deserved break, you might be wondering, "Will the national DPIA project team be clocking out for vacation too?" Rest assured, while many team members will be recharging at various points throughout July and early August, our commitment to the project will remain uninterrupted.
Did you manage to tune into our LinkedIn Live om transfers of personal data out of the EU/EEA?
On Wednesday, June 28th, we had a deep dive into how we plan to manage data transfers, especially relevant if you're using Google Workspace for Education under a license that allows for data storage outside of the EU/EEA, also known as “third countries”.
Did you miss the live session? No worries! You can catch the replay on LinkedIn (only in Norwegian) here.
Record of processing for the core services in Google Workspace for Education
A cornerstone of our communication strategy is transparency, which is why we aim to publish our findings as soon as they're finalized. Your role as key stakeholders in the municipalities, working hands-on with privacy and Google Workspace for Education, is incredibly valuable to us. We highly appreciate your feedback, and we intend to use it to finetune our outputs to better suit your needs.
DPIAs can seem overwhelming given their size, but we've streamlined the process by breaking it down into manageable chunks. A part of this approach involved formulating a record of processing for the core services in Google Workspace for Education. This as a part of systematically describing the processing activities - the first part of any DPIA. We're excited to say that we're nearing the finish line on this, and we expect to publish the record of processing after the summer break.
For municipalities utilizing Google Workspace for Education, this means you'll be able to download and adopt this record of processing as your own. To facilitate better understanding, we also plan to host a LinkedIn Live session where we'll walk you through the protocol in detail.
So, while we all eagerly await the end of the summer vacation, remember we've got exciting developments to come!
Before signing off, we in the DPIA project team want to extend our warmest wishes for a relaxing, privacy-friendly vacation.
Best regards,
Ida Thorsrud
Project manager national DPIA
