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 interviewee 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.

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 subject, we can identify them this way.

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.
