Determann’s Field Guide to Data Privacy Law: International Corporate Compliance 5th Edition

Companies, lawyers, privacy officers, compliance managers, as well as  human resources, marketing and IT professionals are increasingly facing  privacy issues. While plenty of information is freely available, it can  be difficult to grasp a problem quickly, without getting lost in details  and advocacy. This is where Determann’s Field Guide to Data Privacy Law  comes into its own – identifying key issues and providing concise  practical guidance for an increasingly complex field shaped by rapid  change in international laws, technology and society.

This fifth  edition reflects significant changes since 2019, such as new laws in  California and other jurisdictions, new EU Standard Contractual Clauses,  data residency requirements, machine learning, data monetization  trends, cloud adoption and the Internet of Things. Readers will benefit  from an introduction to key data privacy concepts and useful practical  guidance on starting, maintaining and auditing compliance programs.  Step-by-step direction on drafting privacy documentation is provided,  with ‘how-to’ suggestions for tasks and projects. Finally, the book  offers an A-Z list of hot topics, organized by commonly used buzz words,  as well as a rich index and checklists. This guide should be on the  desk and in the briefcase of every compliance officer and corporate  counsel.
