Stiff sanctions



http://ow.ly/8tVKe

An article by Alex Vorro posted on the insidecounsel.com website.

The article discusses violations of international privacy laws, and looks at sanctions levied for such violations.

The article states, "In many nations, including China and much of Europe, it’s considered the equivalent of a felony for U.S. companies to improperly collect private data. In the European Union, which has strict privacy regulations compared to the U.S., potential fines for improper collection or procedure vary from country to country—the highest currently being France, where a company can receive a €4.5 million penalty."
