Has the the the GDPR effectuated the application and enforcement of data protection controls in the non-European countries? How has it impacted on your own country's legal system (if applicable)?
Dear Abba Elgujja, do you have any publications about it? Is there any collective action in the UK on the matter?
Dear I am not aware of any such publication, but this blog has some insight: https://blog.returnpath.com/gdpr-impact-for-non-eu-companies/
Some Middle East countries are making moves to update the data protection laws, to presumably, synchronise with the GDPR. https://www.pinsentmasons.com/out-law/news/middle-east-sees-moves-to-update-data-protection-laws
Japan changed its legislation in order to get an adequacy decision from the European Commission and South Korea is in the way to do the same. There is a clear convergence trend from some countries who aspire to have a free flow of personal data with the EU. In my opinion, the EC rushed with the Japanese decision which should had set an example as it was the first after the application of the GDPR started to be applicable but the EU wanted to apply it in parallel with the EU/Japan trade agreement so it could not wait any more. I am finishing a paper on the topic if you want to check the draft you can send me a message.
Thanks Ana Gascon Marcen for the insightful input. I am presently putting the pieces together, and this session is intended to help in that direction. I will, send you a draft at the appropriate stage. Thanks for the offer.
W. Gregory Voss, thanks for this important insight to the US perspective. It might interest you contribute a chapter to our upcoming book on the Challenges to the Protection of Privacy Rights and Data Confidentiality. https://www.igi-global.com/publish/call-for-papers/call-details/4409
