Talk:Information privacy law

"The European Union, (EU), has defined privacy principles are generally more protective of individual privacy than in the United States. Because of this, the tranfer of personal information from the EU to the US is not prohibited when equivalent privacy protection is not in place in the US."

Is the above correct? It seems a non sequitur. --agr 01:35, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

merge

A large section of the article on information privacy deals with laws in various countries. That section should be moved to the information privacy law article, and a summary included in the main article. Also the safe harbor sections should probably be merged, with one having the main material, the other just a summary. Zodon (talk) 21:10, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Information privacy law. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Overlap with Privacy law

There are two overlapping articles, Privacy law and Information privacy law. Neither is fully up-to-date, each have their strengths and weaknesses:

• Privacy law has barely been updated since December 2020[1]. For example, the United States section doesn't capture the many state statutes that have been passed in the last decade. On the other hand this one captures some of the international structures and may be better written.
• Information privacy law is not as well structured as this one, but has been updated. It's got a huge U.S. section (a bit more up to date) but a threadbare international section which isn't comprehensive or up to date.

In my opinion, these articles should be merged. It may be appropriate for editors to try to harmonize the two and then bring an AfD to merge one or the other. Is there a preference of one article name over the other? Oblivy (talk) 02:02, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Numbers are from 2012, need something more up-to-date

Any more recent paper or data? This has probably changed a lot in recent years. Thanks! Syced (talk) 02:34, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
