International Comparative Legal Guide - Data Protection 2021 2021

It is a pleasure to have been asked to provide the preface to ICLG - Data Protection 2021.
This edition contains an introductory chapter from White & Case LLP, which briefly
charts the technological changes that have driven the evolution of data protection laws
in recent decades, and reviews the major challenges that businesses face in complying
with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation in particular. It also explores some
of the most significant developing trends in privacy laws globally, and illuminates some
of the key policy choices that governments will need to consider as they seek to strike
a balance between the right to privacy and the development of data-driven economies.
The guide provides 34 country question and answer chapters, focusing on key privacy
and data protection compliance issues under local laws in countries around the world.
This year, new chapters have been added for Canada, Greece, Morocco, Peru, Saudi
Arabia and Slovenia, which reflects the growth of privacy compliance requirements
and challenges in an increasing number of jurisdictions worldwide. As with other titles
in the ICLG series, this edition provides a go-to resource for anyone seeking practical
guidance on these complex legal issues around the world.
