Inside investigations: Episode 7 | Data privacy considerations in investigations

In the seventh episode of our Inside Investigations podcast series, Jeremy Lua (Counsel, APAC Cybersecurity and Data Privacy, Singapore), Fiona Bundy-Clarke (Counsel, Data Protection and Technology, London), Ashley Kuempel (Partner, Regulations, Investigations, Security and Compliance, Austin), Rita Nader-Guéroult (Counsel, Investigations and Business Ethics Team, Paris) and Rongxin Huang (Partner, Shanghai Pacific Legal, Shanghai) delve into data privacy and security considerations in internal and regulatory investigations, particularly those with a cross-border element. Building upon our previous episode about common data sources and challenges in data collection, this episode explores the significant impact that data protection regulations—such as the EU / UK’s GDPR—have on the necessary collection and processing of large volumes of personal data over the course of an investigation.
