| Popis: | International audience; The development of computer technology raised concerns for the privacy of the individuals to whom data being processed relates. Soon European nations began adopting data protection laws to protect the privacy of individuals, eventually regulating what had become known as “cyberspace.” To allow for the free flow of personal data within the European Union, while protecting the privacy of individuals, the regional block adopted EU-wide data protection legislation in 1995, which was then implemented in Member State law.The lack of harmonization of Member State implementing legislation and the development of new technologies led to the adoption of a uniform EU law in the form of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which has had international impact. The GDPR develops further individual rights and continues cross-border transfer restrictions, while including clearer extraterritorial application when the personal data of individuals in the European Union are collected, thus recognizing that cyberspace does not end at borders. |
