| Description | With cases like Microsoft Ireland or Google Spain, it becomes apparent that the territoriality principle can hardly serve its purpose in on-line world. It also turns out that, as far as the Internet is concerned, the concept of state sovereignty is in its nature quite similar to the ‘right to be let alone’ known from privacy laws. The seminar will focus on recent developments in privacy laws with regards to cross-border processing of personal data between the U.S. and EU. Apart recent U.S. and EU cases, there will be presented and critically discussed new developments in data transfer regimes under the envisaged EU Data Protection Regulation as well as protective regimes under the draft Umbrella Agreement and revised Safe Harbour provisions. |
