Overview

More than ever it is crucial that organisations protect and safeguard personal information and manage their legal responsibilities in relation to processing personal data consistent with applicable data protection legislation. A well-constructed and comprehensive compliance program can provide a solution to these various competing interests and so represents an effective risk-management tool.

This handbook from DLA Piper sets out an overview of the applicable privacy and data protection laws and regulations across 58 different jurisdictions to provide a guide through this complex area of compliance.

The handbook offers a high-level snapshot of selected features of national laws as they currently stand. It is intended to provide a quick overview of features of data protection law that are of greatest practical significance to businesses, such as international data transfer restrictions, security obligations, enforcement and breach notification requirements.
