GLOBAL PRIVACY LAW AND DPA DIRECTORY
Data protection laws exist across the globe. This tool has an interactive map
identifying those countries with data protection laws. Within each country’s
listing, if available, you can link to a resource containing the data protection
law, the data protection authority, and relevant IAPP resources. The IAPP
Resource Center also hosts a "Global Comprehensive Privacy Law Mapping Chart,"
which maps the differences between comprehensive privacy laws globally.
The Westin Research Center will periodically update these tools. As always, we
appreciate input from our members. If you have comments about the information or
believe additional material should be included, please share it with us at
research@iapp.org.
Note: This tool is for informational purposes and is not legal advice. The
status of a country's data protection legislation should always be verified via
official sources.
