International data protection requirements interviews

This dataset comprises semi-structured interviews conducted with domain experts in data protection and privacy regulations from various jurisdictions. All interviewees have formal legal education or are recognized as experts in the domain (ex: data protection authority, known authors/speakers). The purpose of the interviews is to identify common and divergent data protection regulatory requirements that impact transborder personal data flows and compliance in multiple systems, alongside other issues in the SDLC (such as communication, collaboration). The interviewees tangintly research about international aspects such as the Brussels Effect and the conceptualization of data minimization. The database includes transcripts of expert interviews that have been made publicly available, upon informed and explicit consent from the participants. By default, all interviews are anonymized to protect the identity of the participants and to reduce potential bias during analysis. Other interviews may be available upon request, and other are kept confidential depending on the participants consent. The files have been named in the following manner: [COUNTRY OF EXPERTISE]-[Random letters]. This way, when referring to the specific participants, we can identify them this way within the project. The results reported in papers does not use this identification rule to avoid re-identification of participants who did not want to be identified.. Transcripts were done with AI models upon the consent of the subject. The section in bold represent the interviewer, and normal font is the interviewee. For more details on the transcription purpose, you can check here [unavailable for reviewing reasons] In addition we have included a detailed codebook used to support qualitative analysis. The codebook provides definitions for each code used. When new codes emerged, these were added to the codebook with appropriate annotation (ex: labelled as new), including a definition and possibly verbatims. The guiding semi-structured interview and blinded consent form are included. The privacy policy and information notice sheet is not included for reviewing reason, until the data set is made public. The For more information, please refer to [unavailable for reviewing reasons]Update to V.4 We have created this new section to keep information of the new updates/pushes to the repository We've made certain modifications to the language and nomenclature in the description. We have added more description. The new codebook includes new inductive codes and how we conceptualized this. This was the codebook used for the final results. For the partial results reported, please refer to V.1 The final semi-structure interview questions are available in 'Interview-questions.docx'. File 'Interview questions all languages.pdf' represent the intial set of questions in all languages that the interviews were done, and it includes certain data we were looking for. Some of the questions of the original document were dropped after tested in the initial sample. We still keep the intial questions for archival purposes on how the project has evolved. The tables with all the codes from our analysis are included An anonymous list of participants is included
