The GNLU Centres for Public and Private International Laws announced the launch of an Online Capsule Course on “Data Protection Laws in Selected Jurisdictions with a focus on cross-border legal challenges”.
Across the world, both public and private sector entities have resorted to online platforms for creating workspaces with the advent of a new world order due to novel coronavirus pandemic. Data as a commodity which anyway had been considered as the ‘new oil’ to world economics become even more significantly tradable. While the study of data privacy and protection has hitherto focused predominantly upon the nexus of law and technology, it becomes considerably important to look within the cross-border legal challenges growing out of the attempts of selected jurisdictions and international organizations to establish a baseline of concepts and principles. Further, the implications of the transnational movement of personal data will be dealt while perusing the in-depth of understanding of principles such as privacy, control and enforcement, consent and collection, storage, international transfer, code of practice, data portability and right to be forgotten.
