Book Description
It discusses the origins of the regime and the material requirements of BCR, as well as how they should be applied in practice and made binding on the companies and employees. It also covers how BCRs may provide for enforceable rights for the beneficiaries of the regime and how they should be brought in line with requirements of European rules on private international law.
The work also analyses a number of significant academic debates in the areas of transnational private regulation and data protection. It reflects on the debates as to the legitimacy of transnational private regulation as a method of regulating corporate conduct and also focuses on the merits and shortcomings of BCR as a method for regulating global data transfers.
This book is essential reading for those who need to understand more about the BCR regime, and require insight into how cross-border data transfers could be better protected in the future.
Editorial Reviews
Review
Not only does this book offer an insightful analysis of the problems that export of personal data poses for companies, it also places high valuable markers for the decisions that must be taken by lawyers in advising their clients on international data transfer. In offering many relevant recommendations as to how transfer of personal data and more in particular the instrument of BCR should develop, the book will be a highly valuable source for legal practitioners, policy makers and researchers seeking to understand the legal requirements and possibilities of exporting personal data to other countries, within the European Union as well as worldwide. ―
