Creation and Analysis of an International Corpus of Privacy Laws
The landscape of privacy laws and regulations around the world is complex and ever-changing. National and super-national laws, agreements, decrees, and other government-issued rules form a patchwork that companies must follow to operate internationally. To examine the status and evolution of this patchwork, we introduce the Government Privacy Instructions Corpus, or GPI Corpus, of 1,043 privacy laws, regulations, and guidelines, covering 182 jurisdictions. This corpus enables a large-scale quantitative and qualitative examination of legal foci on privacy. We examine the temporal distribution of when GPIs were created and illustrate the dramatic increase in privacy legislation over the past 50 years, although a finer-grained examination reveals that the rate of increase varies depending on the personal data types that GPIs address. Our exploration also demonstrates that most privacy laws respectively address relatively few personal data types, showing that comprehensive privacy legislation remains rare. Additionally, topic modeling results show the prevalence of common themes in GPIs, such as finance, healthcare, and telecommunications. Finally, we release the corpus to the research community to promote further study.
