As more of our confidential personal information has become digitized, data privacy laws are taking on greater importance, requiring businesses to ensure they have the right tools in place to protect and secure personal information collected from consumers.
Compliance with data protection and data privacy laws is essential for businesses, both legally and to reputation – particularly in circumstances where a business is responding to a loss of data or security breach.
The laws relating to data protection and data privacy vary considerably from country to country, so having a clear and up-to-date understanding of the relevant laws and compliance requirements is essential – even more so when entities collect personal information from or about persons in several different countries because different laws and requirements will apply depending on where individuals reside.
The Mackrell International Global Data Protection and Privacy Guide is designed to provide convenient references to the primary data protection laws applicable in multiple countries and the contact details for highly skilled legal practitioners who can assist in each country.
