Appleby's Offshore Data Protection Guide

Published: 1 Feb 2022

With data protection laws in more than 120 countries around the world, personal data is now viewed as one of the most valuable commodities in today’s global digital economy. Protecting those assets is now a priority for governments, businesses and individuals alike. The increasing complexity of regulation and the meteoric rise of technology, together with cyber security concerns and international data sharing regimes such as FATCA make the protection and use of personal data more complex than ever before.


Appleby’s Offshore Data Protection Guide provides a detailed overview of the privacy and cyber security regimes in eight of the world’s leading offshore jurisdictions with quick linked answers to some of the most business critical issues.

Appleby’s global privacy and information management team has cutting-edge expertise in data protection and information security regulation and implementation. The team also has practical experience advising clients on pan-jurisdiction data protection matters on a global basis, including the interaction between local legislation and GDPR. The team works frequently with local government, regulators and industry bodies to develop responses to the challenges of globalisation and regulation, with a focus on producing effective solutions for clients. The team sits on various legislative and industry working parties, such that where decisions on strategy and new legislation are being made, Appleby is involved.
