GDPR matchup: APEC privacy framework and cross-border privacy rules

A new document examines laws from across the globe and matches them up against the EU General Data Protection Regulation, to help determine how much duplication of operational effort can be avoided as the move toward GDPR takes place.
 
It examines the principles of the APEC Privacy Framework with the principles expressed by the GDPR. And, it notes that the privacy enforcement authorities of a country that takes part in the system should have the ability to take enforcement actions under applicable domestic laws and regulations that have the effect of protecting personal information consistent with the CBPR program requirements.
