註釋The dawn of the information age has increased the importance of personal data protection to the extent that governments & international organisations around the world have been forced to adopt legislation & multilateral instruments aimed at protecting the privacy of individuals. At the same time, business & governmental interests have tried to restrict the scope of privacy legislation, recognising its potential impact on the interests of global commerce. This work includes the full English text of all the international regulations in the field of data protection & of national legislation from over 30 jurisdictions, together with a concise introduction & commentary. The rapid expansion of international data exchange, together with technological advances in the ways in which information can be gathered, stored & shared, makes up-to-date knowledge of the applicable legislation essential for all those involved in data protection & exchange. The Global Encyclopaedia of Data Protection Regulation is published in looseleaf format & updated regularly to ensure its continuing relevance. It will be an essential reference work for computer law practitioners, data protection officials, lawyers, business managers & researchers dealing with transborder data flows in a global information society, enabling them to effectively deal with one of the most rapidly changing areas of law & regulation.
