Key topics will include strengthening oversight of the entire process for collecting and managing information in removal requests; preventing information from being used or shared for purposes beyond those for which it was collected; minimizing the collection and processing of sensitive information; and establishing response systems to ensure prompt notification and removal or blocking when urgent cases arise.
