Eversheds Sutherland has released a mobile app that provides easy access to data breach statutes across a growing number of jurisdictions including Europe, Asia and the United States.
BreachLawWATCH enables users to find relevant breach notification regulations on a country-by-country basis. More specifically, the app is organised by jurisdiction and includes various categories such as notification requirements, definitions of personal information and breach of security, and timeframes for notification.
Paula Barrett, UK partner and co-leader of the Eversheds Sutherland global cybersecurity and data privacy practice, said: “With data being created across all industries at a faster rate than ever before, and with the development of unprecedented ways to collect and use information growing, the issue of data privacy and cybersecurity has never been higher on the agenda.”
