Research background: The adoption of the GDPR Regulation prompted the introduction of a unified regulation on the protection of personal data and highlighted the need to implement security measures relating to information disseminated across businesses operating in several mainly European countries. In practice, the adopted internal standards at the group level are expected to be introduced to the internal environment of individual local subsidiaries. The need to take into account specificities of national legal systems, as well as a specific environment capable of creating a secondary response - a groundswell has also became important. The legal framework of privacy protection in relation to the confidentiality of information disclosed by employers thus represents a fundamental challenge for the interaction between global requirements and local legislation, taking into account the specific assumptions of the business entity concerned. Purpose of the article: The aim of the paper is to describe the range of problems and solutions regarding the process of introducing internal processes of business entities in terms of data security. Moreover, the paper also pays attention to personal data protection legislation. Methods: In an effort to achieve the set goal, the authors used analytical, inductive, deductive and comparative research methods in order to identify areas of problems in relation to intrusion into the privacy of individuals in the online environment and internal communication channels. By synthesising knowledge published in domestic and foreign literature it was possible to draw up the key terminology. Findings & Value added: The experience of the authors in setting up the internal environment of business entities with regard to the issues in question (personal data protection and security of information disclosed in connection with the decision-making power of national regulators) contributes to the knowledge in the given field.

AbstractThis chapter considers the legal framework of data protection in Russia. The adoption of the Yarovaya laws, data localization requirement, and enactment of sovereign Runet regulations allowing for isolation of the internet in Russia paint a grim representation of state control over data flows in Russia. Upon closer examination, it can be seen that the development of data protection in Russia follows many of the steps taken at the EU level, although some EU measures violated fundamental rights and were invalidated. Specific rules in this sphere in Russia are similar to the European General Data Protection Regulation. This chapter shows the special role of Roskomnadzor in forming data protection regulations by construing vaguely defined rules of legislation.

The chapter discusses the influence of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on legal systems extra-EU and particularly the Kingdom of Bahrain, country member to a regional organisation located in the Arabian Gulf denominated Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), which is exclusive to six states (i.e., Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, and Kuwait in addition to Bahrain). Amongst these countries, Bahrain is the only one that has recently enacted its own separate Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) mostly resembling the GDPR due to the ever-increasing commercial relationship with business undertakings in Europe. Moreover, the adoption of the data protection law counts as a huge leap forward taken by the kingdom in reforming its legal framework, since it is the state's striving strategy to grow into a midpoint for data centre, just on time for the launch of data centres opening in Bahrain that are endorsed by Amazon Web Services.

Legal regulation of the use of personal data is essential in ensuring the quality of scientific research. Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union No. 2016/679 of April 27, 2016 «On the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data», repealing Directive 95/46/EC, aims to unify the standards governing the protection of human rights to privacy, certain conditions beyond. This novel, introduced by the Regulation in the EU legal framework, complements and updates the acquis communautaire achieved within the framework of Directive 95/46/EC on personal data protection. The Regulation establishes both general rules applicable to any type of personal data processing and special rules applicable to the analysis of certain categories of personal data, such as information obtained during clinical trials. This paper provides an overview of new standards (in force since May 2018) that regulate aspects of personal data processing in the context of research activities (personal health data, genetic, biometric information, etc.)

Protection of personal data represents a relatively recent concern for all the entities consumers, organizations and public institutions involved in the development of the direct marketing industry and the overall Romanian market. Noteworthy growth of the direct marketing campaigns, increase in the consumer demands and expectations and the background provided by the countrys adhesion to the European Union, have determined a strong necessity to build up a legal framework for protection of the personal data. Important steps have been made when laws no. 677 (on the protection of the personal data in terms of their processing and free circulation - 2001), no. 506 (on the processing of personal data and protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector - 2004) and no. 102 (regarding the setting up, organization and functioning of the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing - 2005) have been issued. Adoption of the Directive no. 95/46/EC has connected Romanian and European Union legal framework of the personal data protection. Enforcement of the existing legal background has revealed several problems that have affected activities conducted mainly by the direct marketing and marketing research companies. Relatively unclear definition of the content of personal data to be protected appeared to be one of the most important. From this point, at least the following questions should be answered:what is the specific meaning of the personal data? What data is personal and must be protected through dedicated laws and regulations?are public initiatives best ways and public institutions sole entities to handle the development of an effective legal background for the personal data protection?how important is the voice of the consumers in the process of development of a regulatory environment in this area? Should those to be protected represent the main source of initiating and building the related legal framework?An exploratory survey on a sample including 96 Romanian urban consumers aged 18 to 45 has been conducted aiming to provide information on the: importance of the data protection for the consumers, main characteristics of the data protection legal environment (area of protection, public-private, respectively national-international relationships in terms of the data protection, need for national or international laws and regulations), content of the personal data to be protected by a more precisely defined object of the law, consumer preferences regarding the opt-in and opt-out mechanisms, knowledge associated to the legal rights of consumers related to the personal data protection as they are granted through the existing law, major risks associated with the absence or improper personal data protection mechanisms, consumers exposure to the personal communication media, preferences for personal sources of information and perceived importance of personalization as potential factors to be considered for the development of the personal data protection legal framework, opportunity to develop and implement a Robinson list.Results of the survey may serve as a starting point for a future research conducted at the level of a national representative sample and the Romanian experience may be considered for the upcoming effort to develop a legal framework of the personal data protection in the European Union based on the consumers views, needs and expectations.
