College: Dickinson Law
Major/Program: Law
Email: dfr5433@psu.edu
Research Interests: In light of the recent holding of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Schrems II and the invalidation of the Privacy Shield Framework, I am currently co-authoring a paper on the challenges of transferring personal data, including health data, from the EU to the U.S. In this paper, she analyzes the scope of the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR) and the available legal mechanisms under this Regulation for the international transfer of personal data, including data concerning health. In this paper, she intends to make suggestions on how to address the legal obstacles to cross-border transfer of health data from the EU to the U.S. in a new Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework. Furthermore, the rapid development of consumer genomic app platforms raises privacy challenges, considering that these platforms collect large amounts of sensitive data from consumers. I am currently co-authoring a paper exploring the privacy aspects of these platforms. In particular, I examine privacy laws in the U.S. and Europe, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA), and the EU GDPR. Keywords: International Transfer of Personal Data, Direct-to-Consumers AI/ML Mobile Health Applications, Privacy and Liability of AI-driven Health Tools
