This open access book describes the most important legal sources and principles of data privacy and data protection in China, Germany and the United States. The authors collected privacy statements from more than 400 crowdsourcing platforms, which allowed them to empirically evaluate their data privacy and data protection practices. The book compares the practices in the three countries and develops empirically-grounded policy recommendations.
