Question about international section

I have some information I'd like to add to the international legal standards section, primarily standards from APEC and the OECD. I also want to add more about the EU, Council of Europe, and UN. I am just worried about putting APEC there because, although countries from all over the world are members, it is primarily a regional organization. Then again, so are the EU and UN. Should I just add more info about these intergovernmental organizations under the existing heading, or should I create a new section such as "Privacy laws by intergovernmental organization" or something to that effect? Thank you. --Prizmic (talk) 02:52, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

Ideas for article update

I have some ideas that might help improve this article. First, I want to reorganize it by regions rather than it just being a long list of countries. Next, I hope to include some information about intergovernmental/international bodies for each region, such as the UN and ASEAN. I also plan on adding more information to Southeast Asian countries, including Singapore and Malaysia. I will be working on this article for the next few months. Thank you. --Prizmic (talk) 16:50, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Interesting. Organization by region would be particularly useful if there tend to be regional practices and distinctions, or where there are regional intergovernmental structures (like the EU) which can impose privacy rules on member nations. bd2412 T 01:54, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Peer review

You did a very good job with your contributions to the Privacy Law Wikipedia article. All the sections you added to the article are thoroughly researched, but most importantly, easy to understand for regular readers without any background in privacy law. I especially appreciate your focuses on privacy law for less discussed nations and organizations. You also provided detail history and background on each nation/organization before talking about the privacy law, which allow readers to better why each nation/organization develop look at privacy law differently. Overall, you did an amazing job improving the Privacy Law Wikipedia article. I do not really see anything major that needs to be corrected or changed. However, I guess if you have time over the summer, maybe you can add more nations or organizations. I am sure Wikipedia readers would really appreciated it.

International Comparisons

I think the article could benefit a lot from a section comparing the differing views of privacy rights by country, and then write about how those views influence various statutes and court decisions. Lawsuits such as those brought by Princess Caroline of Monaco should be described. CessnaMan1989 (talk) 20:46, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Added to introduction

I added to the introduction that privacy laws vary by country because it introduces the content of the article as comparative.MaryJane404 (talk) 21:01, 12 October 2020 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by MaryJane404 (talk • contribs) 21:20, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi for the added contents in the China session, the citation used the article named Privacy(taiwan) and translated it into English. Jojo11234 (talk) 02:37, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Overlap with Information 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)

Change of title

@Allbertkim, could you please explain what "Group D" means in the title of this page? Why did it need to be changed from just "Privacy law"? GraziePrego (talk) 04:58, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

• Move reverted. This title is inconsistent with our titling scheme for general law-related articles. BD2412 T 16:47, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
