These technological advances are leading to the increasing use of electronic communications networks and cloud technologies by individuals, businesses, and organizations to provide services, store, and manage records, especially in the electronic space. The increasing use of these links offers an unprecedented opportunity to systematically collect and use a variety of data (including personal data) for different purposes. Information and data collected and processed with the help of technology are used not only for the purposes of meeting the needs of natural and legal persons but for various other reasons too. In the context of the collection and the use of personal data, which is very widespread in business relations, ensuring the individual’s right to privacy becomes problematic, especially if the data have to be transferred to third countries outside the EU. The authors of the article provide an example of how the case of data transfer to a third party was resolved in the Lithuanian courts.

The potential risk of disputes must always be assessed. Timing and adherence to agreed deadlines are very important in business, as any delay can cause significant damage, and the legal entity can suffer significant losses. In a dispute between business partners, people tend to go to the court and fight there to the fullest rather than reach an amicable settlement, but there is always a winning and losing party in a litigation. From a long-term perspective, it will be impossible for the disputing parties to work together in the future, and the losing party will always feel great resentment towards the winner. Therefore, litigation is not always an attractive option and in this case mediation is a great way to resolve business disputes due to its expediency. Mediation is a dynamic, structured, interactive process which is focused on the needs, rights, and interests of the parties. It also helps to find the optimal solution and encourages open communication. This article presents the possibilities and perspectives of the application of mediation in Lithuania by reviewing global practice. 2022-01-01T00:00:00Z https://etalpykla.vilniustech.lt/handle/123456789/154707 Formation of Ukrainian state policy for ensuring human social security under the war Varnalii, Zaharii; Cheberyako, Oksana; Bazhenova, Olena; Miedviedkova, Nataliia; Plieshakova, Nataliia Purpose – to analyze the current state of the state policy for ensuring human social security under hybrid war and prefer recommendations for its improvement.
