The U.S. approach stands in sharp contrast to the approach found in over 100 other countries around the world that have adopted omnibus privacy laws.”Read <a href="http:https://media2.mofo.com/v3/assets/blt5775cc69c999c255/blt2424837c59553f00/6273ee724d9f892971291af3/201223-gdr-insight-handbook-2021.pdf" target="_blank">an extract</a> from GDR Insight Handbook, 2021, first published in December 2020.
