NEW BOOKS RELEASED FROM ATP

The Association of Test Publishers is pleased to announce its newest publications:  Privacy in Practice Bulletin Series and Privacy Guidance When Using Video in the Testing Industry. The Association of Test Publishers continues to follow the progression of privacy initiatives, from the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which went into effect in May 2018, to new initiatives cropping up in state legislatures across the U.S., including the California Privacy Act (CCPA), and in other countries around the world (e.g. China, India, Brazil, Canada). To assist ATP members in navigating the legalities inherent in these new laws, the ATP International Privacy Subcommittee has built a series of "Privacy in Practice" Bulletins that provide practical information, discuss principles, and provide guidance that test publishers should be using to comply with the GDPR, and current and/or upcoming privacy laws in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world. Due to popular demand the first eight Bulletins have been compiled into the Privacy in Practice Bulletin Series volume to make the information available to a wider audience. The International Privacy Subcommittee has also just released Privacy Guidance When Using Video in the Testing Industry  to help the testing industry understand the appropriate use of video monitoring and recording while conducting tests – and to prepare the necessary documentation to defend such uses.  Both these publications are available in the ATP Bookstore.
