Navigating the Global Data Privacy Landscape: What Multinational Corporations Should Consider When Doing Business

The ever-evolving data privacy landscape continues to become more complex as new developments play out on the global stage. In the United States, a number of individual state laws have come into force, with more following in close step, and a new focus is emerging in health data protection. Across the pond, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework became effective and the UK government introduced a new draft of the UK Data Protection and Digital Information Bill. China and the Middle East’s approach to privacy continues to focus on cross-border data transfers and adaptations to new technologies, with the Gulf Cooperation Council region attaching significant penalties and enforcement actions in response to violations of the law. 

In this roundup of key takeaways from Morgan Lewis’s Technology Marathon webinar series, we take a look at the patchwork of privacy and data laws and legislation developing in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, China, and the Middle East.
