Difficult transnational data flow negotiations have shown critical legal differences between Europe and the U.S. over the past years. Those differences are for real, e.g., personal data protection as a non-proprietary right in Europe with regard to data as an asset in U.S. law. The aim of this talk is to illustrate why such differences should not overlook crucial convergences between Europe’s data protection laws and U.S. privacy regulations.
