The third issue of the Global Privacy Law Review (GPLR) is dedicated to Japan. This special issue has been edited and prepared by the Guest Editor, Prof. Kaori Ishii (Chuo University), and our General Editor, Ceyhun Necati Pehlivan.
Japan has recently modernised and strengthened its data protection legislation to align it with international standards, in particular with the safeguards and individual rights provided by the EU General Data Protection Regulation.
Following these developments, the European Commission adopted its adequacy decision on Japan in 2019, creating the world’s largest area of safe and free data transfer based on an adequate level of protection. Also, this is the first time that the EU and a third country agreed on a mutual recognition of the adequate level of data protection.
GPLR’s world-renowned experts and authors offer the readers of the GPLR a valuable framework for understanding some of these significant developments in data protection in Japan.
This issue comes with a foreword by the authorities in the field of data protection from both regions, Mr Bruno Gencarelli (European Commission) and Prof. Shizuo Fujiwara (Personal Information Protection Commission, Japan).
