Episode 31 — Comparative Analysis: U.S. Privacy vs. GDPR and FADP

This episode explores how U.S. privacy frameworks compare to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Switzerland’s Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP). We’ll review differences in scope, enforcement powers, and individual rights. While U.S. privacy law is fragmented across federal and state systems, GDPR and FADP establish comprehensive regimes that apply broadly across industries. We also highlight common principles such as purpose limitation, proportionality, and security safeguards that appear in both systems.

The comparison underscores why multinational organizations must navigate overlapping obligations and harmonize compliance efforts. For exam purposes, you should be prepared to identify points of convergence and divergence across regimes. This knowledge helps you analyze scenarios involving cross-border transfers, multinational conflicts, or vendor oversight. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com
