This module describes the role of privacy and data protection laws in regulating the collection and use of personal data. It also highlights the issues arising from cross-border transfers of data, and gives examples of multi-national approaches to this problem.
Skills / Knowledge
- Privacy and data protection laws are not the same across all countries, and some countries do not have privacy or data protection laws
- Even where the data is covered by the laws of both countries, the protections may vary (e.g., data collection may be opt-in or opt-out). To complicate matters further, more than one country may assert that its laws apply
- Several international and national privacy frameworks have largely converged to form a set of core, baseline privacy principles. One of the most influential of these is the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) 2013 Privacy Guidelines
