ABSTRACT

In the last decade there has been a dramatic increase in the growth of internationally operated computer-communication systems. In these systems, in essentially a single continuous operation, data are transmitted from terminals to computers in networks that may span several countries or several continents, the requested processing is performed, and results are returned. In other cases, data files are maintained online in international, remotely accessible networks. These networks are operated by vendors of remote computing and/or information services, industry associations, or private corporations (especially the so-called multinational corporations). Some of the data transmitted in these systems are personal data about individuals.
