| Summary |
|
With the rapid dissemination of information and communication technologies, there has been a growing concern about the collection, processing, storage, access, and exchange of data related to individuals. The ethical and legal issues of data protection and privacy have been the focus of attention of lawmakers in many countries and there is a manifest feeling of urgency in ensuring that privacy rules apply to personal data.
The authors review the fundamental concepts related to the technical and legal aspects of data protection and summarize the scope and degree of implementation of pertinent regulation in fifty-one countries. Even though the emphasis of the book is on data protection and privacy issues as they relate to person identifiable electronic databases, data privacy regulation and legislation being implemented in many countries will likely apply to all data, regardless whether they are collected offline or online. |
