E-Privacy and Online Data Protection is the essential tool for in-house lawyers working in companies that trade electronically and handle information relating to individuals. With its authoritative and easy-to-follow explanations this report will give you all the information you need to operate lawfully online while respecting the privacy of your staff and customers.

Its comprehensively updated content and cutting-edge commentary make this Special Report the only way to keep up-to-date with current legal practice in an area of law and technology that has seen major upheaval and unprecedented change in recent years.

For less than the price of an hour's consultancy, you'll have all the targeted information it contains at your fingertips, ready for immediate use as and when issues arise. You won't just be saving time - by doing away with the need for costly external advice, you'll be saving precious resources for your company too.

This new second edition will answer the following questions with confidence and clarity:

Does my website gather data in an effective and legal way?
Can I lawfully send marketing emails and other communications to my customers and prospective customers?
What does “fair and lawful processing” of data entail?
Do I need a Privacy Policy and if so, what should it contain?
How does the Information Commissioner’s Employment Code affect my business?
Can I read my employees’ emails and internet details at work and control their blogs and on–line pages?
How can I minimise liability for staff misuse of email?
How can I ensure safe and legal transfer of data outside the UK?
Contains E-privacy guidance notes from the Information Commissioner’s Office
