ECRI Data Protection Observatory

The Data Protection Observatory provides you with an up to date overview of data protection acts around the world (data protection laws only, not credit reporting regulation). As above, we maintain 100 countries in the database, although not all of them do have data protection acts. The database displays the title of the law (or if a bill is under review in the country it provides the title of the bill if it was available). In addition, it reflects the legal status of 2006, the influence on the law (for instance, EU) and the adequacy with EU law insofar as this has been publicly acknowledged by the European Commission. For possible interest in accessing the law, we also provide you with the online source. Furthermore, we provide you with the names and online addresses of data protection officers and as to whether a country is member of a treaty covering data protection such as the European Council Convention.

 

Access is free for ECRI members.
