Records Handling Laws: Format Requirements
Records managers often overlook laws that regulate record formats. Most companies store the bulk of their records electronically—or they’re moving in that direction. This makes it important to consider legal requirements about records formats.
Permissive Format Regulations
The good news is that most format regulations allow for electronic recordkeeping if you meet certain conditions. In the US, the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, which is in effect in 47 states, is a good example of standard language found in many domestic and international permissive format requirements. The main components usually include 1) accurate and trustworthy information and 2) accessibility.

The Impact of Personal Data on Records Management
On May 25, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) goes into effect. The GDPR harmonizes data protection and reshapes the way businesses approach data privacy. To achieve this goal, the GDPR holds businesses accountable for how they manage personal data in a digital world. In preparation, many are evaluating current practices and planning to bring their programs into compliance to avoid strict fines and penalties. However, there are challenges aligning current practices with the Data Protection Principles set out in the GDPR.
For our purposes, we’ll address the principle of “data retention periods,” which requires businesses to retain personal...
China Further Expands Reach of Data Localization Law to Multinationals
Countries are continuing to escalate restrictions on storage location and transfers of data, with China being the most recent to follow suit. China broadened its cybersecurity initiatives significantly in 2016 with the release of the Cybersecurity Law (Law). Scheduled to come into effect June 1, 2017, the Law introduced many new requirements concerning the handling of personally identifiable information (PII).

France’s Digital Republic Act Strengthens Privacy Safeguards
France’s new Digital Republic Act significantly strengthens protections that control how French businesses use and retain personally identifying data. The law expands the scope and authority of the 1978 French Data Protection Act and brings the country to the foreground of modernizing the legal framework of the information economy ahead of the 2018 implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
