Now in its fourth edition, Data Protection: A Practical Guide to UK and EU Law has been fully updated and expanded to include new cases and guidance, and additional material on new technologies. There are new chapters on behavioral advertising, privacy impact assessments and Apps. Significant updates have been made to the CCTV chapter, as well as new information on social media, and the Leveson Report.

Each chapter contains considerations of the likely impact of the proposed European General Data Protection Regulation through analysis of the draft regulation published by the European Commission in 2012, and the proposed amendments published by the European Parliament in 2014. This book has been adopted as the key text for the Practitioner Certificate In Data Protection (www.dataprotectionqualification.com), the leading qualification for those who work within the field of data protection.
