Most companies cannot survive without storing personal information of individuals in different forms. In today’s information society the flow of this information is becoming of fundamental importance for different purposes of companies. Present trends the way information flows around include widespread outsourcing arrangements, providing services from where companies find best skills and productivity, working far away from the employer, companies’ split-up functions in many different countries who transfer information between themselves online. Considering these scenarios, it is easy to see how the ability to process and transfer personal information can in effect be a company’s lifeblood.
