Today in Law

Despite the GDPR coming into force in 2018, a new Privacy Respect INDEX™ shows that 9/10 London Listed PLCs are still in breach of cookie regulations.

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, October 20, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — 20th October 2020

9/10 organisations continue to flout online privacy regulations, leaving them exposed to litigation risk, according to new index

Despite the GDPR being in force for more than two years, a new Privacy Respect INDEX™ shows that 9/10 London Listed PLCs are still in breach of cookie regulations, leaving them exposed to fines by the regulator and private legal action such as the €10bn class action lawsuit recently filed against Salesforce and Oracle.

The index is the first to attribute a Privacy Respect Score (numerical value) to demonstrate an organisation’s level of respect for privacy and provides a baseline from which improvement can be measured and tracked. The findings of the inaugural index, published today, show little improvement in privacy respect during 2020 and is supported by previous research, e.g. Dark Patterns after the GDPR – published in January 2020 by Aarhus University, MIT and UCL, that found 89% to be non-compliant.

London Listed PLCs – Privacy Respect INDEX™
9% Respecting privacy (green)
3% Limited respect (yellow)
42% No respect (orange)
41% Abusing privacy (red)

33 Websites not available to audit

The Privacy Respect INDEX™ is published by Privacy & Cookies whose CEO, Lawrence Shaw, has worked with EU and local Data Protection Authorities across Europe helping them draft regulation and is also an advisor to numerous multinationals and consultant to the likes of IBM and Deloitte.

Shaw said “The public is becoming increasingly privacy conscious and are more likely to trust brands that respect their privacy, enforcement by regulators and private litigation is on the rise – so organisations need to address this issue as a matter of urgency.

We believe the majority of organisations respect privacy and most have undertaken projects aimed at complying with the GDPR. However, compliance with cookie regulation has proved elusive, despite millions being spent on vendor solutions.

Part of the problem could be a lack of awareness at boardroom level, so our intention is to shine a light on the issue by publishing the index. Hopefully, this will motivate organisations to improve”, added Shaw.

The London Listed PLCs Privacy Respect INDEX™ will be published monthly and can be viewed at www.rethinkingprivacy.com where you can also check any website’s Privacy Respect Score for free.

Furious: John and Linda House

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, October 19, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — Timeshare companies, closed during COVID, are set to make record profits while refusing even partial fee refunds to members, fuming at the “monumental act of greed.”

"It’s wrong" says 20 year Marriott owner John House , 70. "Yes, there's a pandemic so we understand they can't open. But demanding full fees is profiteering. Other travel businesses are refunding when they can't provide the services people paid for. Nobody can afford to pay for things they don't get.

"Marriott are taking a thousand pounds from us, just like every year but they are not providing our holiday. We understand the resort has to be maintained, but without guests it doesn't cost £50,000 a year per apartment to maintain the resort. This money is just extra profit to Marriott.

"If we don't pay the fees, we get invoiced again next year with interest," adds Linda, 71. If we don't pay after 2 years, we lose our membership. We have to pay for something we won't get.”

Marriott are offering double holidays next year, instead of a refund.

"They can't deliver," explains John. “Even if companies had inventory to accommodate this, most people own the amount of weeks they use. They can't just double their holidays. And this is assuming the resorts are open next year."

"Linda and I paid £20,000 to join in 2000. Plus maintenance every year. The fees go up all the time. When you factor in the joining cost, we've been paying £2,000 a year.

"Standards are deteriorating. We're told; 'book 12 months in advance,' but I called on the stroke of the lines being open and was told there's no availability. Yet if I go on Bookings.com I can get that same week through them.

Robert Salmon, timeshare malpractice expert, believes the 2020 "maintenance heist" is making timeshare owners reflect on their ownerships.

"Timeshare resorts don't need to ask for full payment this year. With no guests to service, they could easily reduce the fees.

"Unlike other businesses, the timeshare companies will have higher profits in 2020. They receive the same money but provide less in return.

"14 million timeshare owning households around the world are realising they could have had holidays every year for the cost of their maintenance fees without the commitment of the joining price."

Archer 1200 Barriers create safe dining area in Wilmington, NC.

Injuries and Death Trigger Call for Secure Eating Zones

PASADENA, CA, UNITED STATES, October 19, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — Meridian Rapid Defense Group is fast-tracking operations by working with restaurants to create safe outdoor dining areas using its mobile Archer vehicle barriers.

The need for greater attention to the issue comes following the death of a restaurant patron and injuries to eight others in San Jose, CA when an elderly driver lost control of his SUV.

San Jose Police Sgt. Christian Camarillo said, “The driver thought he was using his brake but accelerated and then went speeding across a street, over a sidewalk, and into the restaurant.”

Since the COVID-19 pandemic forced the closure of many restaurants for indoor eating, Meridian has helped restaurateurs “get back to business.” Meridian’s unique Archer 1200 mobile vehicle barriers are being used across the U.S. to secure outdoor dining zones. The American-made steel barriers can stop a car or truck at lethal speeds.

Peter Whitford, CEO of Meridian explained, “At the famous restaurant district in Ocean Drive in Palm Beach, Florida the entire area was secured by Archer vehicle barriers and Archer beam gates to create a pedestrian plaza. The restaurant owners told us business was great once the area was secured.”

In the California cities of Pasadena, Ventura, and West Hollywood, restaurants were able to spill out onto the street thanks to a “ring of steel” created by Meridian’s barriers.

In North Carolina, Meridian partnered with the City of Wilmington and restaurant organizations to create “Curbside Wilmington” with Meridian barriers enabling restaurant owners to offer large, secure areas for outdoor dining.

“Our safe outdoor dining model has now expanded with great success,” said Wilmington mayor, Mike Purzycki.

Meridian’s Mr. Whitford said restaurants need to look closely at creating safe spaces next to moving traffic. “A series of collisions in New York, like that in San Jose, has highlighted that swiftly-assembled, flimsy outdoor dining setups just aren’t good enough. These terrible tragedies can be averted if the correct equipment is used and the correct decisions are made at the very beginning,” he said.

Meridian Archer 1200 Barriers are “SAFETY Act Certified” by the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) providing the ultimate standard in keeping people, communities and places safer.

Voip-Pal (OTCQB:VPLM)

HONOLULU, HAWAII, US, October 19, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — CEOCFO Magazine, an independent investment publication that highlights important technologies and companies, today announced it has published an op-ed (https://www.ceocfointerviews.com/emilmalakoped101420.html) by Voip-Pal CEO Emil Malak. Voip-Pal.com Inc., Voip-Pal (OTCQB: VPLM), a Bellevue, Washington based company is an inventor and pioneer of the switching technology now being used by many of the world's largest telecommunication and social networking companies, without which they could not connect Landline phone calls to Internet phone calls. Mr. Malak has other business ventures and is well versed in global politics and culture.

In this most recent article, Mr. Malak renewed his calls to expand continuous rapid testing as the solution to reopen the world’s economies. Malak wrote, “In the meantime, the only solution to return life to normal is by expanding continuous rapid testing. People should be tested every three days and every business should be equipped with a testing machine like a vending machine, capable of conducting a rapid coronavirus test and delivering results in minutes.”

Mr. Malak cited the recent about face by the World Health Organization saying, “Even the World Health Organization (WHO) has reversed course on lockdowns. The WHO initially told us that lockdowns were necessary to get the virus under control and would be the new normal. Now they have backtracked and realized lockdowns are ineffective and do much more harm than good.”

Malak went on to say, “The United Kingdom and other European countries should cancel their current lockdown plans and replace them with continuous rapid testing of all its population.
Additionally, we need to continue good practices like regular hand washing, maintain social distancing and wearing masks whenever indoors, or whenever near other people when outdoors.”

Mr. Malak also shared his thoughts on a study linking neanderthal genes and severe cases of COVID-19, “Scientists have found a link between neanderthal genes and severe COVID-19 cases. When researchers compared the genetic profiles of about 3,200 hospitalized COVID-19 patients and nearly 900,000 people from the general population, they found that a cluster of genes on chromosome 3 inherited from Neanderthals who lived more than 50,000 years ago is linked with 60% higher odds of needing hospitalization. According to the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, COVID-19 patients that had this gene cluster were also more likely to require artificial breathing assistance. The paper titled “The major genetic risk factor for severe COVID-19 is inherited from Neanderthals” was coauthored by Svante Paabo and Hugo Zeberg and published on September 30, 2020.”

Mr. Malak continued, “This newly discovered connection could be the reason why people in Europe, the Americas, Asia, India, and Indo-European Iran are more likely to develop a more lethal coronavirus than Africa and the Middle East.”
https://www.republicworld.com/lifestyle/health/neanderthal-dna-in-patients-can-can-make-covid-19-more-severe-study.html

Malak, who has many years of experience dealing with the U.S. patent system hinted he may be writing a future article on the current state of patents in the United States saying, “Unfortunately, owning a U.S. patent today can be meaningless. It is no longer an asset but a liability.”

Wrecked SUV in Brain Injury Settlement – $500,000.00

Neil Chapman was the lawyer for the brain injured client in the Zoom settlement

$525,000 Recovery for Motorist who Showed Subtle Signs of Brain Damage

EVANSVILLE, IN, UNITED STATES, October 19, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — Chapman Injury Lawyers announce a recent brain injury settlement of $525,000.00 negotiated by remote video conferencing Zoom software during a Court-ordered mediation. The plaintiff, a 60-year-old Evansville resident, was stopped on Interstate 69 for a construction project when he was rear-ended by an SUV at high speed. The plaintiff suffered some bleeding in his brain and spent 3 weeks at the St. Vincent Medical Center. Despite recovering the ability to walk, talk and appear "normal," he became a different person. "Relatively 'mild' Traumatic Brain Injuries can be deceptive," according to Neil Chapman, lead lawyer on the case. "Many times our clients may look perfectly normal. But they suffer a collection of chronic symptoms that are relatively subtle and not immediately associated with traumatic brain injuries. Examples included symptoms such as vertigo, balance, visual disturbances, hearing loss, sensitivity to noise and light, and crushing anxiety. In this case, our client could not return to his job because he mentally lost the ability to cope. It was as if he was suffering dementia or a psychiatric disorder."

While medical science has come a long way with treating mild to moderate traumatic brain injury, it can be challenging to obtain the cutting-edge treatment to maximize a brain-injured person's recovery. "The latest treatments involve intensive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). It is difficult to find providers of these therapies, and remains expensive and controversial for insurance companies. We have a long way to go in the area of treatments for Traumatic Brain Injuries," according to Chapman.

Chapman continued, "Another thing we emphasized in our settlement negotiations was the likelihood that our brain-injured client faced a substantial risk of early-onset Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's Disease, or other affective disorders. This evidence was introduced by our consulting expert witness, Dr. Rebecca O'Bryan, an Assistant Professor of Clinical Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the Indiana University School of Medicine. Dr. O'Bryan's examination and written report helped us tell our client's story and persuade the insurance company that our client's quality of life was permanently diminished."

RCU, EduCann and Schindlers partner to promote cannabis education

TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, October 19, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — RCU – Responsible Cannabis Use, a leading Canadian cannabis education company, EduCann, a South African cannabis education company, and Schindlers Attorneys, a South African legal firm that specializes in cannabis law, have partnered to bring cannabis education to employers across South Africa. This partnership brings years of experience, expert insights, and a proven model for South African employers and HR professionals.

The partial decriminalization of cannabis in South Africa has raised concerns amongst employers about the impact of cannabis impairment at work. It is critical for employers and HR managers to understand how decriminalization can affect their workplace and what policies should be in place in their business.

RCU has been bringing cannabis education to employers and employees in Canada since recreational cannabis was legalized in 2018. “Educating employees on workplace policies is the most efficient way to ensure that they are aware of the rules and their responsibilities,” said Karina Karassev, COO at RCU.

This partnership is the first step in a series of cannabis education activities that RCU will be implementing in South Africa with the local partners, EduCann and Schindlers. “Our goal has been to leverage our experience in the Canadian market for new regions across the globe,” added Karassev.

RCU’s e-learning course educates employers and employees on key facts, regional employer laws and regulations, as well as actionable insights that can help employers develop their workplace policy. This is the first step in building an inclusive society for medical patients, as well as recreational cannabis users, in South Africa.

“We are excited to partner with RCU and EduCann as our educational partners, as we believe that education is critical in supporting our clients when implementing or updating workplace policies,” said Pierre van der Merwe at Schindler's Attorney.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with RCU and Schindlers to accelerate cannabis education in the workplace by bringing CannEd to employers in South Africa. Education is the key stepping stone to the understanding and acceptance of this plant which has so much to offer,” said James Burfordat EduCann.

________________________________________

The firm will re-brand in an effort to provide prospective clients with a more accurate depiction of their full suite of legal services.

CORAL SPRINGS, FLORIDA, USA, October 19, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — Benn, Haro & Isaacs, PLLC has announced they will be shifting their firm name and website domain to WorkInjuryRights.com, as the firm seeks to more precisely illustrate their commitment to fighting for workers’ compensation claims.

While the current site Accidentlawyerfl.com offers extremely comprehensive information on the workers’ compensation process—such as how to report an accident or what to do when a claim is denied—the new site promises to be even more robust. In addition to the existing information on the site, WorkInjuryRights.com will provide details on how to handle specific workers’ comp situations based on where they occur, the cause of the accident, and the resulting injury.

For example, prospective clients will have resources available to help them determine how to handle reporting a workers’ compensation claim at various types of businesses as well as while traveling for work. BHI will also provide information on how to handle cases ranging from operating heavy machinery to dangerous tools such as a welding torch. Clients can also navigate resources that explain the process for dealing with a variety of injuries, from something as simple as a lifting accident to a more complicated traumatic brain injury.

“Every workers’ compensation case is unique, but having worked with so many claims over the years, we recognize a lot of situations have some areas of overlap,” said David Benn, one of the firm’s founding attorneys. “We saw an opportunity to give visitors to our site a window into our understanding of their situation. Our hope is the new content will confirm for those affected by on-the-job injuries that we will be their greatest advocates because we recognize the struggle.”

The site goes live today, but those in need of additional workers compensation information or representation right now can still visit accidentlawyerfl.com for whatever they may need in handling the process. Additionally, the current site provides excellent information on the firm’s previous case results, attorney profiles, and resources for Spanish-speaking clients.
