Abstract:
In this paper the authors compare Canadian and the United Kingdom practices in the management of electronic information on the Internet. The focus is primarily on policies and practices of electronic data storage and transfer, protection of privacy, and electronic business data transfer. The authors examined the impact that national personal data protection legislation and regulations have on electronic data transfers between and within Canada and the UK by organizing consultations with security and privacy experts in both countries, as well as with Canadian and international legislators. The findings are situated within the Access Rainbow framework suitable for obtaining a global view on the roles of different stakeholders in the adoption of e-commerce. This study represents the first stage of a larger project that will encompass several geographic regions1.
