Abstract

The data protection complexities between Pakistan and other nations are investigated in this study. Given that Pakistan’s technological marketplace is rapidly increasing, it becomes imperative for Pakistanis to understand the subtleties of data protection laws across jurisdictional borders. A thorough analysis is made of Pakistani legislation structures, focusing on the proposal of Data Protection Legislation and its relevance to international regulations namely European Union Regulations & Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation. The legislative deficiencies identified are significant & relate to protocols of transnational information exchange, safeguards in place for individuals, & measures of regulatory execution. These regulatory gaps create commercial ambiguities & prevent international data exchange operations. There is a need for establishment of information protection legislation & clarification of trans-border exchange is echoed in administrative suggestions. Pakistan could set up invincible informational security steps, which fortify business confidence, fortify fiscal development, and guard individual privileges in the current technological foundation, over systematic settlement of these administrative obstacles.
