THE PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION IN E-COMMERCE DEALINGS

1.0              Compliance with data protection and privacy law is at its core about a company being able to justify its use of personal data, controlling the use of that data, and updating and discarding the data when required.

2.0              Above all, the key is to take, and be seen to be taking, privacy and data compliance seriously.

3.0              If management can achieve that objective, then the company should be able to maneuver through the data protection legal minefield unscathed.[1] 

4.0              It is important to understand that, whatever data concerning the E-Customers is collected and however it is used, the laws governing data protection must be considered.

5.0               On the same note, the need for the compliance of personal data protection law cannot be overstated.

6.0          The need is imperative as an instrument to regulate privacy-invading technology, and as a    prerequisite to outsourcing business in international trade since globalization markets has resulted to transborder data transfer .
