Passage of the European Data Protection Directive and other
national laws have increased the need for companies and other
entities to improve their data protection and privacy controls.
Clients, stakeholders, and the public are clamoring for it. Klosek
introduces the various legal means to protect personal data in the
United States and the European Union, targeting her book at
American and international businesses that may have difficulty
complying with the European Directive. She explains its main
elements and practical effects, presents primary components of
national privacy laws abroad and in the United States, and gives
advice on some steps companies can take to improve the level of
protection they afford to the data they possess.
Klosek offers a comprehensive review of the American and
European systems for providing protection to personal information
in the Internet age. She explains the European Data Protection
Directive, the national data protection laws of the fifteen
countries of the European Union, and the laws and other initiatives
for protecting individual personal data. She endeavors to discuss
the protection of personal data in general but focuses on, and
emphasizes, the protection of personal data within the context of
the Internet. In doing so, she provides much useful, fascinating
information on the obvious and non-obvious means of collecting and
processing personal data through the Internet. Among its unusual
features, the book helps United States corporate decision makers
assess the effect data protection laws will have in Europe and the
U.S., and how companies that are operating web sites that cross
international boundaries can ensure they stay in compliance with
data protection laws in countries in which their web sites may be
accessible. The book is essential reading for corporate compliance
executives, corporate communications and other top-level
organizational administrators, particularly in Internet
industries.
