  • Discussion on cross-border transfers of personal information
  • Review of employee surveillance tools and practices (i.e. video and CCTV, computer, biometric, GPS tracking and wearables)

This book will be of interest to privacy lawyers, employment & labour lawyers as well as corporate lawyers who advise clients (i.e. employers/companies) on how to comply with applicable privacy laws, or to represent businesses affected by security breaches. It is also a great tool for In-house counsel and will allow them to advise their company on how to comply with applicable privacy laws in their business operations, their marketing initiatives and in the employment context. Chief Privacy Officers, HR Professionals and others who are responsible for managing personal information, and/or who are responsible for ensuring that the organization complies with privacy laws, may also find this publication useful.
