Last weeks debate highlighted to me that the attached URL containing a brief
summary of the US privacy protections could be of use.
http://www.cdt.org/privacy/guide/basic/
Put together with the ICO, DG15 and other privacy regulatory sites it may be
of interest to those working with trans-border data flows and provide
assistance in upholding both Directive requirements and US interests.
For wider reading covering various USA privacy perspectives the following
sites exist:-
http://www.epic.org/
http://www.eff.org/
http://www.ftc.gov/privacy/
http://www.ladylibrty.com/alerts.html
http://www.privacyrights.org/
http://www.unc.edu/courses/pre2000fall/law357c/cyberprojects/spring00/lawyer
s/ethics_sum.htm
US legislation can be found at :-
http://thomas.loc.gov/
Some of the privacy sites in Canada and other countries can be equally
interesting and informative.
I hope the above links are of use to members of the list whose interests
cross into the US jurisdiction.
