TY - JOUR AU - Nwankwo, Iheanyi Samuel PY - 2014 DA - 2014// TI - Missing Links in the Proposed EU Data Protection Regulation and Cloud Computing Scenarios: A Brief Overview JO - JIPITEC SP - 32 EP - 38 VL - 5 IS - 1 AB - Applying location-focused data protection law within the context of a location-agnostic cloud computing framework is fraught with difficulties. While the Proposed EU Data Protection Regulation has introduced a lot of changes to the current data protection framework, the complexities of data processing in the cloud involve various layers and intermediaries of actors that have not been properly addressed. This leaves some gaps in the regulation when analyzed in cloud scenarios. This paper gives a brief overview of the relevant provisions of the regulation that will have an impact on cloud transactions and addresses the missing links. It is hoped that these loopholes will be reconsidered before the final version of the law is passed in order to avoid unintended consequences.
