While Dr. K Royal is traveling, Paul Breitbarth of Catawiki turns our attention to the Middle East for this episode of Serious Privacy. He speaks with Lori Baker, the Vice President Legal & Director of Data Protection for the DIFC Commissioner’s Office. The DIFC - the Dubai International Financial Center - has a special status in the United Arab Emirates and therefore also their own data protection law, going back to 2004. Paul and Lori talk about data protection in the Emirates, how the legislation compares to other laws we know such as the GDPR, and international data flows to and from the DIFC.
