Privacy and Innovation: New Legal Frontiers between Italy and China: A Comparison of Digital Regulation

As cross-border data transfers become more complex, businesses must stay on top of evolving regulations to protect personal data. The EU’s GDPR gives individuals greater control over their data, while China’s PIPL introduces stricter rules on national security, data localization, and cross-border transfers.

In this session, we will dive into how different legal systems regulate data protection, including the evolution of laws, territorial scope, international transfers, consent requirements, and penalties for non-compliance.

Experts Nathaniel Rushforth (Dezan Shira & Associates) and Marta Cogode (Studio Previti) will answer key questions from European—especially Italian—businesses operating in China. Topics will include legal frameworks, data transfers, compliance risks, and enforcement.

We also want to make sure your questions are addressed! If you have any, feel free to send them to freda.chen@dezshira.com or leave them in the registration form. Our speakers will be happy to respond to them during the webinar or via email.
