In this blog post, we will highlight the key updates in the newest edition of the CIPP/E book and provide an overview of the changes. We have already incorporated these updates into our course outline, and we are committed to keeping our students informed and well-prepared.

Changes in the CIPP/E Book:

Chapter 1: An update has been made to the Brexit section, reflecting the latest developments regarding data protection and privacy regulations post-Brexit.

The ePrivacy Regulation aims to modernize the rules on electronic communications and enhance privacy protection. The NIS2 Directive focuses on cybersecurity and aims to strengthen the resilience of network and information systems. Additionally, a new section on AI has been introduced in section 3.8 to address the impact of AI on privacy. As AI technologies continue to advance, understanding the privacy implications associated with AI is crucial for privacy professionals.

The chapter also covers the storage of metadata by providers due to national security requirements, highlighting the complexities of balancing privacy and security considerations.
