Data Localization Laws And Policy

Countries are increasingly introducing data localization laws, threatening digital globalization and inhibiting cloud computing adoption despite its acknowledged benefits. This multi-disciplinary book analyzes the EU restriction (including the Privacy Shield and General Data Protection Regulation) through a cloud computing lens, covering historical objectives and practical problems, showing why the focus should move from physical data location to effective jurisdiction over those controlling access to intelligible data, and control of access to data through security.

An exploration of the current state of global trade law in the era of Big Data and AI. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

This book provides a snapshot of privacy laws and practices from a varied set of jurisdictions in order to offer guidance on national and international contemporary issues regarding the processing of personal data and serves as an up-to-date resource on the applications and practice-relevant examples of data protection laws in different countries. Privacy violations emerging at an ever-increasing rate, due to evolving technology and new lifestyles linked to an intensified online presence of ever more individuals, required the design of a novel data protection and privacy regulation. The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) stands as an example of a regulatory response to these demands. The authors included in this book offer an in-depth analysis of the national data protection legislation of various countries across different continents, not only including country-specific details but also comparing the idiosyncratic characteristics of these national privacy laws to the GDPR. Valuable comparative information on data protection regulations around the world is thus provided in one concise volume. Due to the variety of jurisdictions covered and the practical examples focused on, both academics and legal practitioners will find this book especially useful, while for compliance practitioners it can serve as a guide regarding transnational data transfers.

"Canada has distinguished itself as a pioneer in the oversight of privacy and data protection through a co-regulatory approach that balances industry initiative with government protection of consumer preferences and citizen concerns. Incorporating key elements of the European and American approaches, Canada is the first North American country to enact comprehensive data protection regulation that sets appropriate standards for privacy practices across the country. In recognition of Canada's unique position, the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) has created the first credentialing program in Canadian privacy. The Certified Information Privacy Professional/Canada (CIPP/C) is the first certification to be designed by Canadian privacy officers for the benefit of information management professionals who work in the Canadian private sector. Canadian Privacy: Data Protection Law and Policy for the Practitioner is the official reference for the CIPP/C program. It brings into focus all of the notable Canadian data protection laws and standards including: The Privacy Act of Canada; The Personal Information and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA"); The Personal Information Protection Acts of Alberta and British Columbia (the "PIPAs"); The Personal Health Information Protection Act of Ontario ("PHIPA"); The private sector Act of Québec ("Loi sur la protection des rensiegnments personeels dans le secrteur privé [sic]"); the Generally Acceptable Privacy Principles ("GAPP"). Canadian Privacy is a valuable reference for Canadian corporate privacy officers as well as any professional who is responsible for the information risk management, information security, information auditing or legal compliance needs of clients or organizations based in Canada."--P.

The fast-growing last decade of strong economic growth of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has played a critical role in Asia-Pacific regionalism and global trade. This book explores the concept of ASEAN law under the normative framework of the new regional economic order. It examines the roadmap of the new ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint 2025 by evaluating the impact of ASEAN trade agreements on domestic legislation on professional services, financial integration, investment disputes and digital trade. More importantly, it sheds light on the legal implications of ASEAN's agreements with China and India and the potential developments of mega-regional trade agreements such as the CPTPP and the RCEP. Hence, the legal analysis and case studies in the book offer a fresh view of Asia-Pacific integration and bridge the gap between academia and practice.

Examines the interplay between artificial intelligence and international economic law, and its effects on global economic order. This title is also available as Open Access.

For the last two decades data protection regulatory models in the African continent were highly inspired by foreign ones - mostly by the European Union's models. Recently, regulatory diversions can be spotted - reaching from strict(er) regulation on data sovereignty and data localisation to hybrid data protection and data governance approaches. Against this background, this volume presents the proceedings of the conference on "African Data Protection Laws: Regulation, Policy, and Practice" held in Accra, Ghana in 2022. The contributions undertake deep dives into the data protection and data governance development on the African continent - providing insights by distinguished scholars and experts in the field and tackling current trends, laws, regulations, and policies. The contributions narrate the unique African journey and lay the ground for interdisciplinary informed policy decisions, guide stakeholders, and also provoke future research towards a potential Pan-African data (protection) governance framework in Africa.

The use of data in society has seen an exponential growth in recent years. Data science, the field of research concerned with understanding and analyzing data, aims to find ways to operationalize data so that it can be beneficially used in society, for example in health applications, urban governance or smart household devices. The legal questions that accompany the rise of new, data-driven technologies however are underexplored. This book is the first volume that seeks to map the legal implications of the emergence of data science. It discusses the possibilities and limitations imposed by the current legal framework, considers whether regulation is needed to respond to problems raised by data science, and which ethical problems occur in relation to the use of data. It also considers the emergence of Data Science and Law as a new legal discipline.
