Abstract

COVID-19 has brought unprecedented change to countless occupations, and for privacy professionals it has been no exception. As we are approaching the end of the year, this paper summarises the main data privacy challenges faced by privacy professionals due to the pandemic in 2020 and how it has impacted the data privacy profession as such. Has COVID-19 resulted in a shift leading to a new normal for the profession, or has it been business as usual? Taking also into consideration other meaningful events that have shaped 2020, such as the Black Lives Matter movement, Schrems II and Brexit, the paper concludes with what this year has meant for data privacy and an outlook on what to expect next.
