In this episode of Privacy Chats, we explore the growing global momentum behind comprehensive privacy regulations.
With over 140 countries that have embraced laws inspired by the GDPR, Rachel and John zoom in on four frameworks in particular: GDPR (EU), LGPD (Brazil), APPI (Japan), and PIPA (South Korea) — highlighting how they align (and diverge) across key areas including:
Scope and extraterritorial reach
Lawful bases for processing
Data subject rights
Sensitive data definitions
DPO and DPIA requirements
Breach notification rules
Enforcement, sanctions, and international data transfers
Along the way, we analyze which countries are still lagging, where U.S. state laws fit into the picture, and how global organizations can navigate compliance across borders.
