Privacy Expert Group Report on the Review of the 1980 OECD Privacy Guidelines

This document describes the work of the Privacy Experts Group of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Working Party on Information Security and Privacy (WPISP). The expert group was tasked by the WPISP to assist with the review of the OECD Privacy Guidelines. The document also includes an Annex that identifies a number of issues that were raised by the Expert Group but not fully addressed as part of the review process. These issues could be considered as candidates for possible future study. The work of the expert group played an essential role in a process concluded on 11 July 2013 with the adoption by the OECD Council of the first revisions to the OECD Privacy Guidelines since their original release in 1980.
