The Island's information commissioner has signed agreements with Dubai and Malta
Signing Memorandums of Understanding with Dubai and Malta isn't about sharing personal data, but about sharing best practices.
That's according to the Island's information commissioner, who recently signed agreements with both countries to strengthen international cooperation on data protection.
Both Dubai and Malta, like the Isle of Man, have economies driven by financial services, with Malta also hosting a major e-gaming sector.
And Alexandra Delaney-Bhattacharya explains why these memorandums are important:
