Ep. 34 - Rest of World

In this episode of Privacy Chats, we explore the growing global momentum behind comprehensive privacy regulations. 

With over 140 countries that have embraced laws inspired by the GDPR, Rachel and John zoom in on four frameworks in particular: GDPR (EU), LGPD (Brazil), APPI (Japan), and PIPA (South Korea) — highlighting how they align (and diverge) across key areas including:

• Scope and extraterritorial reach

• Lawful bases for processing

• Data subject rights

• Sensitive data definitions

• DPO and DPIA requirements

• Breach notification rules

• Enforcement, sanctions, and international data transfers

Along the way, we analyze which countries are still lagging, where U.S. state laws fit into the picture, and how global organizations can navigate compliance across borders.
