FollowGDPR and the global diffusion of data privacy laws
Major privacy regimes remained in implementation and amendment cycles in 2025-2026
Key takeaways
- GDPR turned privacy law from an EU legal project into a global benchmark that other jurisdictions copied, adapted, or pushed back against.
- Adequacy decisions, Schrems II, and record transfer fines made cross-border data flows the clearest operational channel of GDPR's global influence.
- The active phase in 2025-2026 is about implementation and amendment: AI, outbound transfers, children's data, and enforcement design now shape how privacy regimes diverge.
