Editorial Reviews
Review
With the proliferation and diversity of privacy risks and international regulatory controls, and the increasingly obvious intersection of data security and privacy, no company can afford to overlook the importance of an up-to-date and well tailored global compliance program. For companies doing business in the cloud or transacting with consumers, a well considered international data privacy compliance program is not only a critical legal and liability control it s fundamental to earning and maintaining the trust of your customers. In this comprehensive yet concise field guide, Professor Determann has managed to consolidate an enormous breadth of legal requirements and best practices knowledge into a single, definitive reference that should be quite accessible even to non-privacy professionals. As general counsel of a multinational public company, I consider Determann s Field Guide to International Data Privacy Law Compliance to be a pragmatic and indispensable reference in improving our compliance program, and highly recommend it for anyone looking for clear, practical guidance on establishing or improving their data privacy program! --Felix Sterling, Senior Vice President & General Counsel at Trend Micro Inc, Silicon Valley, US
Lothar Determann has done a great service to the field of privacy by providing practical, workable advice for a dynamic and challenging issue. This Field Guide will certainly be a valuable, and soon dog-eared, addition to any privacy professional s reference library. --J. Trevor Hughes, President and CEO, International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP)
