From the point of view of compliance with Principle 8 the map is very unhelpful. Norway is shown as 'further data needed', but it is within the EEA and therefore deemed OK. Australia is shown as having a law, but has been checked by the EC and found wanting. Other countries shown as having laws have not been assessed by the EC. Etc.

Click on each country for a very brief summary, often only the name of the Act or the enforcement authority. Also shows countries implementing such a law and whether or not data export is restricted or prohibited and whether the law extends to cookies.
