Website update: David T.S. Fraser's Privacy Law Resources

Over the weekend, I updated and added more content to my page of privacy resources, David T.S. Fraser's Privacy Law Resources. On the table of Canadian privacy legislation, I have added an annotation indicating the laws that have been declared by the federal Governor in Council to be substantially similar to PIPEDA.

I have also added a number of links to the national privacy regimes of the US, the UK, France and Germany:
