Data Protection: A Practical Guide to UK and EU Law

by PeterCarey (Author)

Synopsis

Written by one of the UK's leading data protection experts, this invaluable handbook offers practical solutions to issues arising in relation to data protection law within the UK and EU. Now in its fourth edition, Data Protection: A Practical Guide to UK and EU Law has been fully updated and expanded to include new cases and guidance, and additional material on new technologies. There are new chapters on behavioural advertising, privacy impact assessments and Apps. Significant updates have been made to the CCTV chapter, as well as new information on social media, and the Leveson Report. Each chapter contains considerations of the likely impact of the proposed European General Data Protection Regulation through analysis of the draft regulation published by the European Commission in 2012, and the proposed amendments published by the European Parliament in 2014. This book has been adopted as the key text for the Practitioner Certificate In Data Protection (www.dataprotectionqualification.com), the leading qualification for those who work within the field of data protection.

Media Reviews
Review from previous edition Peter Carey is not afraid to deal with the complexity of real life scenarios...Another excellent section is that on employment-related data...Marketing is also dealt with in a very useful manner...His section on privacy and websites is also extremely useful...Carey makes his book easy to understand without requiring his non-EU based readers to do any additional research...Carey also has a gift for knowing what information is required at what time...this book was a rare academic pleasure to read. * CTLR *
The book is a useful handbook of UK data protection law, and would be of particular use to those with no or little experience of this aspect of law. It clearly sets out all the relevant law, and discusses the statutory provisions. It is concisely and practically written and includes useful examples of situations which arise in practice. ... ideal for many of the businesses who need to come to grips with data protection law as a matter of compliance. It is written in an easy to follow manner with sufficient cross-referencing and details of sources of further information for the intelligent non-lawyer to obtain a basic understanding of data protection law * CTLR Vol 7, Issue 7, Oct 2001 *
