The European Commission has vowed to simplify rules on data protection. The Commission is considering establishing a voluntary register for companies in non-E.U. countries that agree to abide by the region’s data protection standards. Viviane Reding also wants to introduce mandatory data breach notification requirement for all sectors: banking data, data collected by social networks or by providers of online video games. Geolocation information should not be tracked without the user’s explicit consent, says Reding. Movements of European citizens data outside the European Union have also come under scrutiny.”]
