TROPPO PRESTO O TROPPO TARDI? Conservazione dei dati nei CRM e conformità GDPR
04 November 2025 | 10:00 GMT | 11:00 CEST
I sistemi CRM sono strumenti fondamentali per massimizzare l’efficienza dei team di marketing e vendita. Tuttavia, gestire i dati dei sistemi CRM nel rispetto dei requisiti normativi del GDPR può risultare complesso. Conservare i dati troppo a lungo espone a rischi di non conformità, mentre eliminarli troppo presto significa perdere informazioni preziose. Gli esperti di protezione dei dati di The DPO Centre, insieme ad altri professionisti del settore, condivideranno soluzioni pratiche per bilanciare conformità normativa e sviluppo commerciale. Questa sessione è rilevante per responsabili della gestione dei dati nei software CRM.
DOUBLE BLIND: Secondary use of health data and AI in clinical trials

But as AI technology advances and EU and UK regulations evolve, CROs and sponsors need to think ahead about how trial data might be used, or reused, in the future. Join session moderator Ben Seretny, COO at The DPO Centre, alongside Lawrence Carter, DPO and Life Sciences Sector Lead, and Pippa Scotcher, DPO, for a forward-looking discussion on how AI and diverging governance frameworks are likely to impact the future of secondary data use and informed consent in clinical trials.
