The election follows a vote by GPA members from around the world.<\/p>\n<p>In its new position the Office of the Data Protection Authority (ODPA) will contribute to the leadership and strategic direction of the Assembly. The GPA Executive Committee plays a central role in guiding the Assembly\u2019s work programme, strengthening international cooperation and ensuring that global responses to emerging privacy and data protection challenges are coordinated, effective and inclusive.<\/p>\n<p>Guernsey\u2019s election was supported by a submission highlighting the ODPA\u2019s international leadership experience within the global privacy community. This included the ODPA\u2019s role as co-chair and secretariat of the GPA\u2019s International Enforcement Cooperation Working Group (IEWG), a results-oriented forum that brings together authorities worldwide to share expertise and coordinate enforcement action.<\/p>\n<p>Recent actions include the coordination of the Joint Statement on AI Imagery and deepfakes, signed by 61 data protection authorities globally, confronting this growing privacy risk where harm to children is of particular concern.<\/p>\n<p>The appointment will also benefit Guernsey and other smaller jurisdictions by ensuring that their perspectives and regulatory realities are well represented at the highest level of global privacy governance.<\/p>\n<p>Commissioner Brent Homan (pictured) welcomed the election: \u201cWe are deeply humbled and appreciative by the confidence that our global counterparts have placed in Guernsey by electing us to the Executive Committee of the Global Privacy Assembly. This is both an honour and a responsibility. We are committed to contributing to the GPA\u2019s work in promoting data rights&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/channeleye.media\/guernseys-data-protection-authority-elected-to-executive-of-the-global-privacy-assembly\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guernsey\u2019s Data Protection Authority elected to Executive of the Global Privacy Assembly https:\/\/channeleye.media\/guernseys-data-protection-authority-elected-to-executive-of-the-global-privacy-assembly\/ Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":243464,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/channeleye.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Brent.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-243463","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243463"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243463"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243463\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":243465,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243463\/revisions\/243465"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/243464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=243463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=243463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
