Multi-Jurisdictional Compliance
How to comply with multiple laws at once.
🎯 Learning Objectives
- ▸ Build a global privacy program
- ▸ Identify the highest common denominator
The Global Strategy
Instead of building separate programs for each country, build one global program based on the strictest requirements (usually GDPR and PIPL), and then layer on specific local rules.
- • 1. Map data flows globally.
- • 2. Identify the strictest applicable law for each data flow.
- • 3. Build policies and consent mechanisms that meet the highest standard.
- • 4. Train employees on global privacy principles, not just local laws.
- • 5. Conduct regular global privacy audits.
📖 Glossary
- Multi-Jurisdictional
- Involving or operating in multiple legal jurisdictions or countries.
🔑 Key Takeaways
- GDPR and DPDPA are broadly similar; a good GDPR program is a good starting point for DPDPA.
- However, you must adapt to local rules (e.g., DPDPA's strict rules on children's data).
- A unified global privacy policy can work if it covers all requirements.
