Due to developments in the field of EU legislation new data protection rules will be introduced in 2018. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directives will lead into new rules in relation to processing of personal data in the electronic communication sector. These regulations will affect Telecom and Gambling Operators. There is a great chance that the so-called “Over The Top” (OTT) players such as WhatsApp, Facebook and Apple Store will also be affected by these regulations. As a consequence marketing of online gambling activities trough these platforms may also be affected. We provide for tailor made advise in this area in close consultation with our experts in several EU jurisdictions.
