OECD Guidelines on the Protection of Privacy and Transborder Flows of Personal Data

The OECD Guidelines on the Protection of Privacy and Transborder Flows of Personal Data are recommendations developed to help countries protect personal information while facilitating its movement across borders. They emphasize principles such as notice (informed consent), purpose limitation (using data only for specific reasons), security (protecting data from unauthorized access), and accountability (ensuring organizations are responsible for the data they handle). These guidelines aim to balance privacy rights with the benefits of international trade and communication, promoting trust in the global digital economy.
