PrivacyPod #13: Ready Or Not Here the New SCCs Come

You can sigh in relief, the past week was slower on privacy news front and we did our best to keep it short!

We continue the discussion on Facebook View glasses as the news came last week from both the Italian as well as the Irish data protection authorities that they are looking into privacy issues related to the glasses. We marvel at AWS delivering early the updates required by the new Standard Contractual Clauses in their data processing agreement (kind reminder to fellow privacy experts: September 27 is the deadline for having the new SCCs ready for use with new contracts, and updates to old contracts should be covered by December 27, 2022). And lastly, we are happy to have Heikki rant a bit about cookies.
