For European data protection professionals, the Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe (CIPP/E) is the preeminent professional credential and is part of a comprehensive, principles-based framework and knowledge base in data protection. The CIPP/E encompasses pan-European and national data protection laws, the European model for data protection, key data protection terminology, and practical concepts concerning the protection of personal data and cross-border data transfers.

European Data Protection: Law and Practice examines the territorial and material scope of the GDPR, legitimate processing criteria, information provision obligations, data subjects’ rights, security of processing, accountability requirements, and supervision and enforcement. This third edition includes updates about GDPR enforcement actions and guidance relative to GDPR regulations from authorities and regulators, including the European Data Protection Board (EDPB). It is also features new content on Brexit, the ePrivacy regulation, the ‘Schrems II’ case, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework, and other key data protection issues.

Developed by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), in association with data protection professionals, the CIPP/E is and continues to be the benchmark credential for European data protection and privacy. European Data Protection: Law and Practice, Third Edition is the principal reference for those working in this field, including data protection officers (DPOs) and CIPP/E candidates.
