Microsoft’s top privacy lawyer reflected on the global impact of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation and its lessons for U.S. legislators in a blog post Monday.
The post from Julie Brill, Microsoft’s deputy general counsel for global privacy and regulatory affairs, comes as GDPR hits its first anniversary on May 25. Brill said the law “improved how companies handle their customers’ personal data” and sparked privacy legislation changes or proposals in Brazil, China, India, Japan, South Korea and Thailand.
