An article on the Legal Technology Today blog posted by the Global EDD Group, from an article by Steven Hunter posted on insidecounsel.com.
The article discusses foreign jurisdictions to the United States, and how they have different rules regarding electronically stored information.
Beyond the Asian nations and the EU countries the article also states, "Data protection hits the BRICS. Recently, the world’s largest emerging economies, collectively known as “BRICS” (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), have become more protective of electronic data. Most U.S. litigators have some passing familiarity with the somewhat longstanding and oft-discussed EU Data Protection Directive 94/46/EC, which restricts the processing and transferring of “personal data” about EU member-state citizens. However, they are not generally familiar with the restrictions that emerging economies are placing on data transfer. As recently as July 2011, two BRICS members (Russia and China) passed laws strengthening data protection in their countries."
These trends will continue to be of importance as the rise of cloud computing increasing, causing additional jurisdictional disputes regarding the protection (or lack thereof) of electronically stored information.
