Data breach notification and disclosure laws are emerging around the 
globe. The following article and table examine the specifics of data 
breach notification frameworks in multiple jurisdictions. Over the year 
of 2008, Alana Maurushat of the Cyberspace Law and Policy Centre, with 
research assistance from David Vaile and student interns Renee Watts, 
Nathalie Pala, Michael Whitbread, Eugenie Kyung-Eun Hwang and David 
Chau, compiled the data. The table represents a detailed survey of data 
breach disclosure requirements in 25 countries, conducted by surveying 
those current or proposed statutory or similar instruments setting out 
the nature and conditions of such requirements to give notice. The 
Centre hopes that the table will be useful to compare and contrast 
elements of data breach notification schemes. The researchers at the 
CLPC will research the effectiveness of such schemes in future projects.
