I'm curious as to how many European companies comply with SOX, HIPAA, or COPPA just for the opportunity of making security/privacy compliance better?

- IceyEC 8y agoHow many European companies deal with US health data (HIPAA)?
- ryanwaggoner 8y agoIf it worked the same as GDPR, I could start forcing them all to just by emailing them my health records.

- briandear 8y agoI am a US citizen who, until last week lived in France. I wasn’t protected by HIPAA in Europe. Interestingly, HIPAA is stronger than the protections provided by U.K. law. For example, practitioners in the U.K. actually use Skype for mental health consultations — which would be a huge HIPAA violation in the US.
- llukas 8y agoPlease read about FATCA
- briandear 8y agoThat isn’t about data protection— it’s actually the opposite, it’s about Euro banks sharing data with US authorities. Furthermore the unintended consequence of FATCA is that many Euro banks stopped allowing accounts from Americans because they didn’t want compliance risk. GDPR is having the same effect: US companies will refuse service to Europeans because of compliance risk.
