Data Privacy on Trial – A Comparative Analysis of Enforcement, Damages, Sanctions, and Standing in EU and U.S. Law

The European Data Privacy Regime under the GDPR stresses that a law is only as good as its enforcement. Thus, EU data protection law includes a refined, complex set of instruments to incentivize data processors and to deter them from deviating from the law. This lecture analyzes the reach of civil actions by the data subject and administrative actions through independent data protection agencies, of private damages and public sanctions, and of collective prosecutions. It takes a comparative approach and looks as well at the information privacy law in the United States concerning the constitutional law of standing and privacy harms.
