Book Description
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical guide to privacy and data protection law in Japan covers every aspect of the subject, including the protection of private life as a fundamental – constitutional – right, the application of international and/or regional conventions protecting the right to privacy, privacy rights in the context of electronic communications or at the workplace, and the protection of individuals regarding the processing of personal data relating to them. Following a general introduction about the country, the monograph assembles its information and guidance in two parts: (1) protection of privacy, including national case law regarding the protection of this fundamental right, specific legislation on the confidentiality of interpersonal communications, and sector-specific rules regarding privacy protection, such as privacy rights of employees, patients, consumers or celebrities; (2) personal data protection, including not only general rules on data quality, legitimate processing, data retention, data subject rights, security and accountability, but also specific provisions regarding the processing of health data or other sensitive personal information, further processing for research purposes, exemptions for law enforcement or national security purposes, and rules regarding liabilities, sanctions and redress.

Book Description
Japan's 2017 amended Act on the Protection of Personal Information implemented the international trend of data protection represented by GDPR. However, at the same time, APPI takes different approaches from GDPR from the viewpoint of utilization of personal data, e.g. as big data. This book outlines APPI in comparison with GDPR according to the order of the provisions of GDPR.

Book Description
This book provides a comparison and practical guide for academics, students, and the business community of the current data protection laws in selected Asia Pacific countries (Australia, India, Indonesia, Japan Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand) and the European Union. The book shows how over the past three decades the range of economic, political, and social activities that have moved to the internet has increased significantly. This technological transformation has resulted in the collection of personal data, its use and storage across international boundaries at a rate that governments have been unable to keep pace. The book highlights challenges and potential solutions related to data protection issues arising from cross-border problems in which personal data is being considered as intellectual property, within transnational contracts and in anti-trust law. The book also discusses the emerging challenges in protecting personal data and promoting cyber security. The book provides a deeper understanding of the legal risks and frameworks associated with data protection law for local, regional and global academics, students, businesses, industries, legal profession and individuals.

Book Description
In 1890, when Louis Brandeis and Samuel Warren wrote their seminal work on The Right to Privacy, Japan did not have a word for the concept. Scholars settled on puraibashii a transliteration as opposed to translation, of the word privacy. Today, privacy is closely guarded in Japan; the European Data Protection Board has found privacy protections in Japan “equivalent” to those in the EU. This research explores the evolution of privacy law in Japan, focusing on data breach and the legal rights and obligations associated with it. The writing is broken up into two parts: This first article discusses private enforcement of privacy norms, as it is the courts, in response to civil complaints, that first established and continue to define privacy rights in Japan. A separate article will address the public law regulation of privacy, including discussion of Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information and its regulatory enforcement. Examining the civil litigation that has defined privacy norms in Japan, one finds three distinct periods: early judicial decisions that create privacy rights by weaving together pre-existing legal doctrines in new ways; a period of expansion where courts recognize a legal injury for disclosure of even basic personal information; and a recent Supreme Court decision that expressly recognizes a remedy for the mental distress that arises from a data breach, even without proof of financial harm. In comparison to the public law cases, one also finds a public law-private law divide. While some Japanese courts in data breach litigation suggest individuals possess a “right to control” their own personal information; in cases involving the central government, one finds no more than a right to the “reasonable handling” of that information. A cross-jurisdiction comparison suggests Japan seeks middle ground. Japanese courts define privacy rights more broadly than in the U.S., but not to the extent found in jurisdictions governed by the GDPR. In doing so, Japanese courts use tort law to balance interests: to compensate plaintiffs; to incentivize defendants' compliance with industry standards and government regulations; and to reward defendants who implement post-incident remedial measures. The result is a set of legal norms that clearly recognize privacy rights, but also limit damages. These legal norms, in turn, have produced stable market norms that now allow parties to settle most data breach claims. Purabashii is no longer a foreign concept in Japan.

Book Description
This book identifies and explains the different national approaches to data protection – the legal regulation of the collection, storage, transmission and use of information concerning identified or identifiable individuals – and determines the extent to which they could be harmonised in the foreseeable future. In recent years, data protection has become a major concern in many countries, as well as at supranational and international levels. In fact, the emergence of computing technologies that allow lower-cost processing of increasing amounts of information, associated with the advent and exponential use of the Internet and other communication networks and the widespread liberalization of the trans-border flow of information have enabled the large-scale collection and processing of personal data, not only for scientific or commercial uses, but also for political uses. A growing number of governmental and private organizations now possess and use data processing in order to determine, predict and influence individual behavior in all fields of human activity. This inevitably entails new risks, from the perspective of individual privacy, but also other fundamental rights, such as the right not to be discriminated against, fair competition between commercial enterprises and the proper functioning of democratic institutions. These phenomena have not been ignored from a legal point of view: at the national, supranational and international levels, an increasing number of regulatory instruments – including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation applicable as of 25 May 2018 – have been adopted with the purpose of preventing personal data misuse. Nevertheless, distinct national approaches still prevail in this domain, notably those that separate the comprehensive and detailed protective rules adopted in Europe since the 1995 Directive on the processing of personal data from the more fragmented and liberal attitude of American courts and legislators in this respect. In a globalized world, in which personal data can instantly circulate and be used simultaneously in communications networks that are ubiquitous by nature, these different national and regional approaches are a major source of legal conflict.

Book Description
This article examines Japan's proposed ID card and data matching system, called 'My Number'. Any businesses operating in Japan will be very likely to find themselves dealing with aspects of the 'My Number' system if they seek to do any work on behalf of agencies at any level of the Japanese government, and will consequently have to comply with this additional layer of Japanese law. Japan's current data privacy laws are frozen in low standards and lack of enforcement, despite being enacted almost a decade ago. The 'Bill for using a unique number to identify a particular citizen in administrative procedures' ('My Number Bill') introduced into the Diet in February 2012, included an expansive version of an ID card and number system. The Japanese government claims that the permitted use of the My number is limited to uses for only three purposes, namely social welfare, taxation, and disaster damage prevention However, this article argues that the result of the Bill's drafting is that it effectively authorises very extensive data matching within Japan's public sector: data collected for any of the defined purposes can be required and used for any of the other defined purposes, by other agencies. Individuals will have no remedies. Just as data subjects have no rights to take any individual action before a court if their rights have been violated under the existing data protection laws, they will have no rights if any illegal uses occur of their My Number information or files. Implementation of this data matching system also raises the question of whether a country can remain compliant with the OECD privacy Guidelines if it abandons the 'finality' principle (use and disclosure only for the purposes of collection) across such a large part of its public sector, rather than making more specific exceptions to these principles. There are no means of testing this. The Bill that has lapsed with the calling of the December election had general support from all parties. It is expected that a new Bill would undergo some revisions, but that its passage will return to the legislative agenda in 2013.
