Data protection - or protectionism by the back door?
1 min read
This briefing is part of a series of publications on various data protection issues.
Current trends in data protection are creating pressures against transferring data out of an individual's home jurisdiction. If allowed to continue, these trends could carve-up markets and erect barriers to free trade. This briefing argues that it is essential that the court, when considering challenges to international data transfer mechanisms, strike an appropriate balance between the imperatives of protecting data and facilitating free trade.
This briefing was first published in Privacy Laws & Business UK Report, Issue 91.
