Drawing on our international expertise to provide you with insight and guidance on data privacy issues.

Facial recognition technology, biometrics and monitoring

A raft of regulation surrounds financial data collection and sharing in the EU and UK, creating a complex environment for financial companies. There is only more to come, particularly from the EU which is focused on facilitating sharing financial data to foster innovation and benefit consumers. We look at some of the current hot topics involving financial data including digital IDs and embedded finance, and at incoming legislation including DORA, the Data Act, and FIDA. We also review the UK and EU framework around financial data incident management and reporting.
