Headline-grabbing stories concerning the privacy of our personal information
are becoming increasingly familiar in a world where many of our social and
financial activities, which generate this glut of personal data, take place
online.
In light of the immense growth in data protection and privacy issues, Oxford
University Press is pleased to announce the launch of International Data
Privacy Law (IDPL), the only international journal to offer specialist
coverage of the law relating to data protection and privacy.
Christopher Kuner, the journal’s Editor-in-Chief and Partner of the law firm
Hunton & Williams, said: ‘In my experience, journals dealing with these
subjects tend to be too nationally or regionally-focused, and do not take
the global nature of the field sufficiently into account. Also, scholarly
articles often lack any connection to the real world, while practical
articles can fail to tackle the underlying issues with any substance.
‘IDPL has three main missions, namely to be global; to span the gulf between
scholarship and practice; and to help solidify the position of data
protection and privacy law as a central area of importance for the
individual, the economy, and the development of new technologies’.
International Data Privacy Law focuses on all aspects of privacy and data
protection, including data processing at a company level, international data
transfers, civil liberties issues (e.g., government surveillance),
technology issues relating to privacy, international security breaches, and
conflicts between US privacy rules and European data protection law. The
journal reviews data protection legislation and their associated regulatory
regimes in countries around the world. It takes a global approach to the
subject and considers developments and case law from the UK, Europe, the US,
and around the world.
*Industry specialist comments on International Data Privacy Law:*
‘There has long been a need for a global data protection law journal
spanning the worlds of practice and scholarship. I welcome the launch of
International Data Privacy Law, and expect it to become a leader in its
field.’ *Peter Hustinx, European Data Protection Supervisor*
‘Data protection and privacy are huge issues for multinational companies,
which are desperate for incisive analysis of important legal issues from a
global perspective. I expect International Data Privacy Law to fill this
gap, and to become an indispensable tool for in-house lawyers and privacy
officers working in this field.’ *Bojana Bellamy, Director of Data Privacy,
Accenture*
