Full Description
It is a pleasure to have been asked to provide the preface to International Comparative Legal Guide - Data Protection 2025. 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 27 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 Egypt, Hungary, Poland and Serbia, which reflects the growth of privacy compliance requirements and challenges in an increasing number of jurisdictions worldwide. As with other entries in the ICLG series, this edition provides a go-to resource for anyone seeking practical guidance on these complex legal issues around the world.
