Abstract
The protection of personal information — privacy protection or data protection — has emerged as a major political and social issue in an era of rapid change in business practices, in the conduct of public sector functions, and in information and communication technologies (ICTs). The volume and flow of personal data for use in the processes of business and government takes place within, and increasingly across, territorial borders in ways that pose severe challenges for regulatory policy and practice. Whilst the protection of privacy for personal information is a global issue, there is no universal framework of institutions for regulating the collection, use, storage and communication of personal information, and processes associated with these activities. However, a set of principles is shared by jurisdictions that have developed policies and laws for protecting information privacy, and has gained acceptance within the private sector as well.
