Webinar – Privacy Meets AML: Navigating Europe’s New Compliance Reality
Registration
Stronger obligations under the Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR) raise pressing questions about personal data. What may you collect, analyse and retain? When is sharing justified? Discover why the GDPR is integral to AML compliance, from customer due diligence and transaction monitoring to risk profiling and responsible technology use.
We will provide a high-level perspective on the GDPR considerations relevant to information sharing between separate legal entities within financial groups, including group-wide risk management, each entity’s responsibilities, and the importance of clear governance, security and controls.
The discussion also covers structured information-sharing partnerships between financial institutions, public authorities and other relevant parties ( Furthermore, we will look ahead to the joint guidelines being developed by the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and the Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) on these information-sharing partnerships. We will explore what they aim to achieve, where the process stands, and how they can help organisations strike the right balance between fighting financial crime and protecting personal data.
Your speakers are Ernst Braakman of Lumen Group and Esmé Bosma, Financial Sector Coordinator at the Dutch Data Protection Authority.
