This book looks at transatlantic jurisdictional conflicts in data
protection law and how the fundamental right to data protection
conditions the EU's exercise of extraterritorial jurisdiction.
Governments, companies and individuals are handling ever more
digitised personal data, so it is increasingly important to ensure
this data is protected. Meanwhile, the Internet is changing how
territory and jurisdiction are realised online. The EU promotes
personal data protection as a fundamental right. Especially since
the EU's General Data Protection Regulation started applying in
2018, its data protection laws have had strong effects beyond its
territory. In contrast, similar US information privacy laws are
rooted in the marketplace and carry less normative heft. This has
provoked clashes with the EU when their values, interests and laws
conflict. This research uses three case studies to suggest ways to
mitigate transatlantic jurisdictional tensions over data protection
and security, the free flow of information and trade.
