ETIS Data Privacy Working Group – Potential Winter Meeting (NOT CONFIRMED)

Important:
This event will only take place if at least 10 companies confirm their interest.

This is why, if your company would like to attend, please email Ruxandra Cioban (rc@etis.org) no later than 5 October 2025.

Your confirmation will help us decide whether to go ahead with the Helsinki meeting. 

Why this matters:
We are exploring the idea of an exclusive two-day in-person meeting in Helsinki for DPOs and privacy leaders across the European telecom ecosystem. This would be a unique chance to:

• Connect face-to-face with peers outside the annual gathering

• Deep dive into AI, data monetization, DSARs, and new regulations (Data Act, DSA, NIS2, ePrivacy)

• Benchmark privacy practices with other telcos in a confidential setting

• Shape the agenda for 2026 together with industry colleagues

Proposed Agenda (draft):

Day 1 – AI, Regulation & Governance

• Opening & Welcome

• AI in Telecom (governance, DPIAs, high-risk use cases, ethical risks, AI in HR/marketing/customer services)

• Regulation & Compliance (Data Act, DSA, ePrivacy, NIS2, audits)

• Roundtable: The evolving role of the DPO

Day 2 – Rights, Innovation & Operations

• Data Subject Rights (DSARs, complaints, regulator interactions)

• Data Monetization & Innovation (responsible monetization, product & service innovation)

• Transfers & Third-Party Risk (cross-border transfers, SCC vs BCR, sub-processor transparency)

• Breach & Incident Response (roles, categorisation, reporting)

• Closing Roundtable: Member updates & priorities for 2026
