In today's global market, employers share and move more information than ever
before. As employers centralize human resources processes to achieve greater
efficiency and cost cutting, information relating to employees is moving
globally. For employers operating on a global scale and the attorneys advising
them, the complications are all the more problematic.

More than 65 countries have their own data protection laws regulating the
collection, use, transfer, and disclosure of personal information, and
complying with these complex and often conflicting laws can be a struggle for
organizations doing business overseas. Now you can rely on BNA Books' newest
title, Global Employee Privacy and Data Security Law, designed specifically to
help attorneys, privacy professionals, and human resources professionals
understand the interaction of U.S. and international legal requirements
related to workplace privacy and data security, and achieve compliance with
all of these requirements.

Morrison & Foerster LLP and Editors Miriam H. Wugmeister and Christine E. Lyon
have crafted a user-friendly book that offers a comprehensive, "big-picture"
overview of the legal framework applied in the United States, Canada, the
European Union, and Asia. Global Employee Privacy and Data Security Law
presents wide-ranging analyses of crucial topics across jurisdictions to focus
on the conflicts and variations among the laws and countries involving
background checks and investigations; e-mail and internet monitoring/video and
physical surveillance; employees' off-duty conduct; confidentiality of health
information; personnel records; and much more.

Ms. Wugmeister is a partner in the New York office of Morrison & Foerster and
is head of the firm's Privacy and Data Security Practice Group. Ms. Lyon is a
partner in Morrison & Foerster's Palo Alto, CA office, where her practice
concentrates on employment and privacy law. She works extensively in the
firm's Privacy and Data Security Practice, with respect to both U.S. and
international privacy issues. Senior editor and contributing author Cynthia
Rich is a senior international policy analyst in Morrison & Foerster's
Washington, D.C., office, where she advises clients on privacy and transborder
data transfers.

Global Employee Privacy and Data Security Law is also designed to be used with
Morrison & Foerster's "Privacy Library," a free resource available at
www.mofoprivacy.com, providing links to privacy laws, regulations, reports,
multilateral agreements, and government authorities for virtually every
