Enforcing Privacy Regulatory, Legal and Technological Approaches

“What makes Enforcing Privacy: Regulatory, Legal and Technological Approaches such an interesting and welcome book is that the editors are acutely aware of this silo problem and have sought to put together a book that overcomes it, or at the very least, acknowledges its existence. … Academics, practitioners, regulators, policymakers and students will all find material of use in this book. … The editors and contributors should be congratulated for producing this fine book.” (Patrick O’Callaghan, International Journal of Law and Information Technology, Vol. 25 (4), 2017)
