In this week’s Privacy Tracker global legislative roundup, read about a delay to Singapore’s Cybersecurity Bill; the U.K. Data Protection Bill 2017, which was introduced in the House of Lords; Germany’s new law implementing the EU General Data Protection Regulation; and the Council of the European Union published its first revisions to the EU ePrivacy Regulation. Plus, Australia’s House of Representatives has passed the Telecommunications and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2016.
