Interoperability of privacy and data protection frameworks
The significant increase in flows of personal data has spurred policy makers to try
to develop a coherent approach to privacy governance both domestically and across
borders. In this context, the need for the interoperability of privacy and data protection
frameworks (“privacy interoperability”) has taken on greater importance. While there
is broad agreement on the importance of privacy interoperability, how to achieve this
in practice is less well understood. This Going Digital Toolkit note describes the
issues around ensuring the interoperability of privacy and data protection frameworks,
and it highlights promising initiatives by governments and privacy enforcement authorities
at the national and international levels. This note seeks to contribute to a shared
understanding of privacy interoperability in the context of the governance of privacy
and data protection and transborder flows of personal data.
