California has long led the way on many privacy-related laws, going back to at least 2002 when it passed the first data breach notification law in the U.S. More recently, passage of the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act has prompted other states to follow suit. Baker McKenzie Partner Lothar Determann has long practiced and taught international data privacy law, and beginning in 2013, published the book, “California Privacy Law.” Now in its fifth edition and published by the IAPP for the last three editions, the new edition comes as the CPRA goes into effect, with implementing regulations on the way. IAPP Editorial Director Jedidiah Bracy caught up with Determann to talk about the California's privacy regime, what companies should be doing to comply, what's new in the updated book, and what's on the horizon for federal and state privacy law in the U.S. and beyond.

With the fall of Privacy Shield and the Safe Harbor program, what can we expect for the future of transatlantic data transfers? Can the EU and US work out a trade deal? More on Lothar Determann. SPEAKERS Wayne Stacy, Lothar Determann Wayne Stacy 00:00 Welcome, everyone to the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology's Experts Series podcast. This is Wayne Stacy, the Executive Director for BCLT. And today we're going to talk about the future of transatlantic data transfers. And we have with is one of the great experts in the field, Dr. Lothar Determann. Doctor Determann or I'm gonna go with Lothar for now was or is a professor, I guess lecturer is the right title. But he's a lecturer since 2004 of computer law and data privacy at Berkeley Law. And since 1995, he's been a tenured professor in Germany. So he brings expertise on the academic side from both sides of the Atlantic, if you look at his publications, Determann's Field Guide to data privacy law in California privacy law, practical guide and commentary. He's actually teaching out of that this semester. And this semester, or next semester, he's got the California privacy law course that he'll be teaching at Berkeley Law. So actually, if you go through the whole list, we can spend the 15 minutes talking about the scope of all of his work, but I'll just leave it at this: he knows a lot about transatlantic data transfers. So thank you for coming today. Lothar Determann 01:29 Thanks for inviting me, Wayne. Wayne Stacy 01:31 So what I want to turn to first is the fact that there seem to be some large finds coming out of out of Europe these days, and a slow eroding, or maybe a fast eroding of some of the shields that we used to have. So the Privacy Shield went down, you saw the Safe Harbor program go down in 2015. And now you're starting to see these new standard contract contractual clauses coming out. The real question about all of this is people get nervous is what does this mean for transatlantic data transfers, and in what's the big picture going to look like over the next few years for for US companies. Lothar Determann 02:14 For US companies, the biggest challenge has been that the general data protection regulation has extended and clarified the realm of applicability to some US companies, but also that European companies are under evermore pressure and transferring personal data to the US. European Union is a trade zone Originally, it was called the European Economic Community when they started looking at harmonizing data protection law. And the main goal was to make it easy for companies to cooperate within the bloc and transfer data across borders. So the official title of what is now often referred to as the Data Protection Directive was really about the free flow of data in Europe. And it was kind of a compromise to say, if we're all trusting each other with data, the Germans and the Spaniards and the French and the Brits at the time before Brexit, then we do need to have a prohibition from just transferring it onward somewhere else. And that was in the directive of 1995. That was there to allow more Corporation more sharing more flow within Europe. And this prohibition of transferring to the US wasn't a real big deal in the first years, because there was a general understanding that the US has privacy laws, too. And the commission worked out a compromise where US companies could sign up for a voluntary program, the Safe Harbor program, and commit to basically complying with the European rules. And then European companies could share data with them, just as if they were in Europe. But after the Snowd

The Muslim world is not commonly associated with science fiction. Religion and repression have often been blamed for a perceived lack of creativity, imagination and future-oriented thought. However, even the most authoritarian Muslim-majority countries have produced highly imaginative accounts on one of the frontiers of knowledge: astrobiology, or the study of life in the universe. Islam, Science Fiction and Extraterrestrial Life: The Culture of Astrobiology in the Muslim World by Jörg Matthias Determann (I.B. Tauris, 2020) argues that the Islamic tradition has been generally supportive of conceptions of extra-terrestrial life, and in this engaging account, Jörg Matthias Determann provides a survey of Arabic, Bengali, Malay, Persian, Turkish, and Urdu texts and films, to show how scientists and artists in and from Muslim-majority countries have been at the forefront of the exciting search.  Determann takes us to little-known dimensions of Muslim culture and religion, such as wildly popular adaptations of Star Wars and mysterious movements centerd on UFOs. Repression is shown to have helped science fiction more than hurt it, with censorship encouraging authors to disguise criticism of contemporary politics by setting plots in future times and on distant planets. The book will be insightful for anyone looking to explore the science, culture and politics of the Muslim world and asks what the discovery of extra-terrestrial life would mean for one of the greatest faiths.

Jorg Matthias Determann‘s new book looks at the history of modern biology in the Arab Gulf monarchies, focusing on the treatment of evolution and related concepts in the publications of biologists who worked in the Gulf states. Researching Biology and Evolution in the Gulf States: Networks of Science in the Middle East (I. B. Tauris, 2015) begins by describing a fatwa against Pokemon and opens out into an introduction of the sensitive nature of discussions related to evolution and creation in the Gulf. The ensuing chapters approach and answer a major question: given this sensitivity, what enabled scientists to nevertheless employ evolution in the political, religious, social, and natural environments of the Gulf? At least part of the answer lies in the importance of networks between scientists, plants, princes, local tribes, European businesses, animals, and other historical actors. The history of those networks – and the botanical, zoological, ornithological, and paleontological research they enabled – is a transnational and transregional one, and looks carefully at concerns with conservation, climate change, and economies at multiple levels. Determann's book avoids telling this story in terms of the common tropes of decline and stagnation, and seeks instead to “go beyond the wholesale and often negative views of scientific production in the contemporary Arab world.” Enjoy!

Saudi Arabia is, for most Westerners, a mysterious place. It’s home to one of the most conservative forms of Islam around and ruled by one of the least democratic regimes in the world. Yet it’s a great friend of the liberal, democratic Western powers, the United States in particular. That’s odd. As J.

Somewhat surprisingly, Saudi Arabian historians have enjoyed a relatively free hand in depicting the country’s past. That past, as Determann explains, is at once tribal, regional, religious, dynastic, national, and even global, depending on how you look at it. Saudi Arabian historians–and the royal family that ultimately supports them all–have looked at Saudi history through all these lenses.

That past, as Determann explains, is at once tribal, regional, religious, dynastic, national, and even global, depending on how you look at it. Saudi Arabian historians–and the royal family that ultimately supports them all–have looked at Saudi history through all these lenses. In their work, the seemingly monolithic country (from the Western perspective, at least) emerges as something of a pastiche of inter-penetrating historical identities. Listen in.
