Data Privacy Considerations
INT-220
GDPR provides the platform to the organizations to protect their data
from any breach and protection on regular policies. There are some key
requirements which apply to organizations as well as the public. First one is
the use of record keeping which requires controllers and processors to write
the data of processing activities. After that data protection officers which
serve as a liaison with supervisory authorities. Data protection impact
assessment manages the risk of violating the rights of the public. Then there
comes privacy, transparency and cybersecurity which provides the major
policies to the organization about how to operate in general public. Lastly
there are data subject access requests and third party policy which creates
the sense of informing about the consent to any of the access its keeping or
passing to third parties. As the increasing number of threats to the
cyberworld and insecurity of data really requires these laws and regulations
for data protection and this legislation for protection of data is really
keeping the success ratio to this year as the cross border usage and
collection of data is at high risk and can be hard to distinguish, that’s why
GDPR is creating boundaries for the data collectors to stay in the limits and
provide only restrictive data which is allowed to use. So, this legislation
process has a notable impact inside as well as outside Europe.
As we already have information about the GDPR, there is another term
which we know as ADPPA which is the American version for data
protection. This however, has similar effects and legislation but some
significant changes differentiate it from GDPR. Like, different roles are
associated with different types of obligation where the covered entity is
compared to the controller in GDPR. Then there is the concept of sensitive
data which also differs in concept from GDPR which says it as special
categories of personal data. This is how different points have comparison to
some GDPR policies but different in its own way. But both are really
similar.
I think there should be only one legislation for data privacy and protection
which can be known as Global Protection Regulation because we know for
the fact that this regulation has had a greater influence on data privacy in
the last 5 years and could really impact the whole scenario of data
collection and protection globally. GDPR and ADPPA are already similar
70-80 percent and they can be implemented in similar fashion with minor
changes to the country specific regulation in it.
