Data privacy is an expected right of most citizens around the world, but there are many legislative challenges within the boundary-less cloud computing and World Wide Web environments. The Waikato Data Privacy Matrix outlines our global project for alignment of data privacy laws, by focusing on Asia Pacific data privacy laws and its relationships with the European Union and the United States. Some alignment already exists for the European Union and United States, there is a lack of research on Asia Pacific alignment within its region and across other regions. The Waikato Data Privacy Matrix also suggests potential solutions to address some of the issues that may occur when a breach of data privacy occurs, in order to ensure an individual has their data privacy protected across the boundaries within the Web.
