Long abstract

Inventory of Instruments and Mechanisms

This inventory was prepared by the secretariat to survey the available instruments and mechanisms (including law, self-regulation, contracts and technology) contributing to the implementation and enforcement of the OECD Privacy Guidelines on Global Networks. Such a study was intended to serve to identify a range of technological policy and legal tools which may be used as a resource for providing seamless, or at least effective protection.

This inventory incorporates contributions from member countries, international and regional organisations and the Business and Industry Advisory Committee (BIAC). It was last updated in January 2003.
