Multi-national organizations, often organized under U.S. state law or operating in the United States, increasingly must comply with a myriad of international laws regulating virtually every aspect of their organization and operation with respect to their customers. While previously, geographic restrictions reduced compliance obligations for companies operating from the U.S., new laws like the General Data Protection Regulation, the Brazilian Data Protection Regulation, and the Chinese Cybersecurity Law, have implemented long-arm jurisdiction to regulate organizations doing any business with residents of these countries, even without a physical presence in these locations. This course will provide an overview of data protection law, with an introduction to the differences between U.S. and other international laws, with a special focus on the General Data Protection Regulation. This will include a discussion of issues relating to privacy and individual rights, technical requirements, and practical business strategies for implementing compliance programs to meet multi-national obligations. This course will provide a foundation on which to pursue a career in technology law and business compliance.
