OECD Privacy Guidelines – changes between 1980 and 2013 versions – comparison / markup / redline

Here's a markup showing changes between the 1980 and 2013 versions of the OECD Privacy Guidelines (ie Annexes to the Recommendations), aka the OECD Guidelines on the Protection of Privacy and Transborder Flows of Personal Data, as I've not found anything similar online.

I used Word's automated comparison feature, tidied up a bit, so the last few paragraphs are not as clear as they could be, but they're usable enough. Obviously I've not compared the explanatory memoranda as they're very different.

GUIDELINES GOVERNING THE PROTECTION OF PRIVACY AND TRANSBORDER FLOWS OF PERSONAL DATA

PART ONE. GENERAL

DEFINITIONSDefinitions

a) "data“Data controller"” means a party who, according to domesticnational law, is competent to decide about the contents and use of personal data regardless of whether or not such data are collected, stored, processed or disseminated by that party or by an agent on its behalf;.

b) "personal“Personal data"” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual (data subject);).

c) “Laws protecting privacy” means national laws or regulations, the enforcement of which has the effect of protecting personal data consistent with these Guidelines.

3. TheseThe principles in these Guidelines are complementary and should be read as a whole. They should not be interpreted:

a) as preventing:a) the application, of different protective measures to different categories of personal data, of different protective measures depending upon their nature and the context in which they are collected, stored, processed or disseminated; or

b) the exclusion from the application of the Guidelines of personal data which obviously do not contain any risk to privacy and individual liberties; or

c) the application of the Guidelines only to automatic processing of personal data.

b) in a manner which unduly limits the freedom of expression.

4. Exceptions to the Principles contained in Parts Two and Three of these Guidelines, including those relating to national sovereignty, national security and public policy ("ordre public"), should be:

a) as few as possible, and

b) made known to the public.

5. In the particular case of Federalfederal countries the observance of these Guidelines may be affected by the division of powers in the Federation.federation.

6. These Guidelines should be regarded as minimum standards which are capable of beingcan be supplemented by additional measures for the protection of privacy and individual liberties., which may impact transborder flows of personal data.

PART TWO. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF NATIONAL APPLICATION

PART THREE. IMPLEMENTING ACCOUNTABILITY

15. A data controller should:

a) Have in place a privacy management programme that:

i. gives effect to these Guidelines for all personal data under its control;

ii. is tailored to the structure, scale, volume and sensitivity of its operations;

iii. provides for appropriate safeguards based on privacy risk assessment;

iv. is integrated into its governance structure and establishes internal oversight mechanisms;

c) Provide notice, as appropriate, to privacy enforcement authorities or other relevant authorities where there has been a significant security breach affecting personal data. Where the breach is likely to adversely affect data subjects, a data controller should notify affected data subjects.

PART FOUR. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF INTERNATIONAL APPLICATION: FREE FLOW AND LEGITIMATE RESTRICTIONS

16. A data controller remains accountable15. Member countries should take into consideration the implications for other Member countries of domestic processing and re-export of personal data. under its control without regard16. Member countries should take all reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that transborder flows of personal data, including transit through a Member country, are uninterrupted and secure.the location of the data.

17.

A Member country may also impose restrictions in respect of certain categories of personal data for which its domestic privacy legislation includes specific regulations in view of the nature of those data and for which the other Member country provides no equivalent controller, to ensure a continuing level of protection. consistent with these Guidelines.

18. Member countries should avoid developing laws, policies and practices in the name of the protection of privacy and individual liberties, which would create obstaclesAny restrictions to transborder flows of personal data that would exceed requirements for such protection.should be proportionate to the risks presented, taking into account the sensitivity of the data, and the purpose and context of the processing.
