Digital Sovereignty & Data Protection Law

About

Who I am & why this blog

My name is Emmanuel Pernot-Leplay, I hold degrees from law schools in France and China. I’ve just finished my PhD at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, in comparative law focusing on data protection in the EU, the U.S. and China. This blog was created as part of my research project and I continue to update it.

I am now a data privacy consultant at Deloitte Cyber Risk in Paris. As mentioned, this blog relates to my work as a researcher and not as a Deloitte consultant.

My publications

I write mostly on comparative law and policy, in the fields of data privacy, digital policy and their implications for national security. Being a comparatist in nature, I compare the EU, US and China’s approaches on these topics, building upon the work I laid out in my PhD thesis.
