Publisher's Synopsis
Since the game-changing GDPR first came into force in May 2018, there has been key national and international legislation, important cases decided by the courts and significant actions taken by the regulatory authorities. The UK adopted the Data Protection Act 2018, similar to the GDPR in scope and content, to provide for its status as a non-EU country after Brexit. The GDPR has also become a model for data protection regimes outside the EU, including the US, Japan, and Brazil. This new book covers the current UK and EU regimes in one practical and easy-to-read manual, guiding you through all the core principles simply and clearly. It provides comprehensive and concise coverage of the key legal and regulatory provisions, commentary on business requirements and compliance issues, and includes checklists, diagrams, case studies and sample data protection and information security policies. It also explores data privacy in the US and data protection regimes in other key jurisdictions around the world, including Brazil, India, Japan, Russia and South Korea. The book is essential reading for all data controllers and data processors and anyone responsible for handling personal data.
