Companies, lawyers, privacy officers, compliance managers, as well as human resources, marketing and IT professionals are increasingly facing privacy issues. While plenty of information is freely available, it can be difficult to grasp a problem quickly, without getting lost in details and advocacy. This is where Determann’s Field Guide to Data Privacy Law comes into its own – identifying key issues and providing concise practical guidance for an increasingly complex field shaped by rapid change in international laws, technology and society

‘Determann’s guide is a great start in educating organizations on how to become compliant even where their jurisdiction may not be, or may not provide sufficient protection.’
– Dominique Chanda Kabwenga and Lori Baker, DIFC Authority, Dubai UAE

‘Lothar Determann is a thought leader on the cutting edge of data privacy law. I highly recommend Determann's Field Guide - it is an essential resource that should be on every privacy lawyer's desk.’
– Ian Ballon, Greenberg Traurig LLP, US

‘Grounded firmly in reality and practicality, Determann’s fifth edition of the Field Guide delivers a valuable “map and compass” to practitioners seeking to navigate data protection compliance at their own pace. While spanning multiple jurisdictions, the Guide keeps the practitioner on course by drawing on the most up-to-date and leading standards governing key aspects of data protection and security. Nobody that follows this Guide should end up lost.’
– Helen Dixon, Commissioner for Data Protection, Data Protection Commission, Dublin, Ireland

‘This new edition of Professor Lothar Determann's book is an invaluable contribution to understanding all the recent transformations in the regulations on personal data protection at an international level. It is a work that, in addition to its relevance for the theoretical discussions of the aspects it deals with, becomes a practical tool for those who must advise both the public and private sectors on issues related to the protection of personal data.’
