The  issues  of  privacy,  data  protection  and  
transparency  that  companies  have  to  deal  
with  
 
One  of  the  most  common  issues  that  companies  face  is  related  to  privacy
...
 And  this  makes  it  hard  
for  companies,  because  even  though  us,  consumers,  want  to  have  access  to  what  is  to  be  
found  on  the  internet,  we  are  not  all  that  comfortable  and  satisfied  when  companies  take  
our  personal  information,  to  use  it  for  their  business
...
 There  is  a  thin  line  between  what  people  accept  
and  what  they  don’t  accept  regarding  privacy
...
   
 
When  entering  in  emerging  markets  there  are  some  challenges  that  have  to  be  
overcome
...
 On  the  grounds  to  security,  law  
enforcement,  and  the  fight  against  terrorism,  illegal  immigration,  welfare  fraud  and  even  
administrative  efficiency,  domestic  legislation  has  extended  the  reach  of  governments
...
 
 
The  violations  of  the  right  to  privacy  underpin  human  dignity  and  are  closely  
related  to  the  freedom  of  speech

The  issues  of  privacy,  data  protection  and  
transparency  that  companies  have  to  deal  
with  
 
 
Authoritarian  regimes  are  an  example  of  having  a  significant  impact  on  the  
privacy  of  individuals
...
 And  
governments  may  rely  on  security  forces  and  the  monitoring  of  communications  in  
order  to  track  activists
...
 It  is  not  
obligatory  for  governments  to  let  multinational  corporations  (MNCs)  know  about  
monitoring  and  censorship,  and  the  discovery  of  this  to  the  MNC  presence  in  the  country  
could  result  in  dilemmas
...
 They  may  include  arrests  and  detentions  and  
other  punitive  action  by  the  state
...
   
 
While  these  risks  continue  in  developed  economies,  they  generally  endure  more  
protections  and  better  security  to  prevent  abuse  of  privacy  in  the  business  environment
...
 Especially  in  weak  authority  zones,  companies  are  challenged  with  a  
higher  risk  when  creating  relationships  with  employees,  business  partners,  and  clients  
that  may  damage  their  reputations  or  associate  them  in  disruptions  of  law  or  human  
rights  abuse
...
   
 
 
These  risks  can  be  minimized  and  moderated  by  running  strict  due  diligence  on  
business  partners  or  employees,  which  does  not  violate  on  privacy

The  issues  of  privacy,  data  protection  and

with  
 
 
According  to  Privacy  International,  privacy  comprises  four  different  aspects:  
1
...
 It  is  also  known  as  “data  protection”
...
Bodily  privacy,  which  concerns  the  protection  of  people’s  physical  selves  against  
invasive  procedures  such  as  genetic  tests,  drug  testing  and  cavity  searches
...
Privacy  of  communications,  which  covers  the  security  and  privacy  of  mail,  
telephones,  e-­‐mail,  and  other  forms  of  communication  
4
...
 This  
includes  searches,  video  surveillance  and  ID  checks
...
Policy  statement
...
 And  it  should  ensure  clarity;  the  policies  must  be  adjusted  to  be  
transparent,  easily  accessible  and  understandable
...
Human  rights  due  diligence

 Their  general  principles  are  to  prevent  harm,  to  honor  the  
principle  of  lawfulness  and  fairness,  and  to  respect  the  principle  of  non-­‐

an  adequate  privacy  management  system

YAHOO!  
 
 
Yahoo!  was  filed  for  a  lawsuit  because  they  were  accused  for  supposedly  sharing  
information  with  the  Chinese  government,  which  consequently  led  to  the  arrest  and  
imprisonment  of  several  Chinese  journalists  and  protestors,  impacting  not  only  the  right  
to  privacy  but  also  the  right  to  freedom  of  speech
...
 Yahoo!  Earlier  requested  for  the  dismissal  of  
the  case,  claiming  that  they  had  no  choice  than  obeying  the  lawful  Chinese  government  
request  for  information  that  was  connected  to  an  investigation  by  the  authorities,  due  to  
the  possible  outcome  whereby  Yahoo!’s  Chinese  staff  would  have  been  put  in  legal  
jeopardy
...
 
But  Yahoo!  has  no  control  over  the  sovereign  government  of  the  People's  
Republic  of  China  ('PRC'),  the  laws  it  passes,  and  the  manner  in  which  it  
enforces  its  laws
...
 or  YHKL  therefore,  can  be  held  liable  for  
the  independent  acts  of  the  PRC  just  because  a  former  Yahoo  subsidiary  in

with  
 
China  obeyed  a  lawful  government  request  for  the  collection  of  evidence  
relevant  to  a  pending  investigation
...
 Yahoo  has  faced  unsuccessful  
shareholder  proposals  to  force  the  implementation  of  stronger  policies  regarding  
government  requests  for  user  information
...
 
Since  January  2007,  Yahoo!,  Google  and  Microsoft  have  participated  in  an  
enterprise  with  the  Center  for  Democracy  and  Technology,  Business  for  Social  
Responsibility,  and  other  companies,  academics,  investors,  technology  leaders  and  
rights  organizations  to  produce  a  set  of  principles  to  guide  company  behavior  on  privacy  
issues  (and  related  human  rights  issues  such  as  freedom  of  expression)
...
 In  May  2008,  as  part  of  a  new  Yahoo!  Business  
and  Human  Rights  Program  that  includes  Guiding  Principles  and  Operational  Guidelines  
for  the  company,  Yahoo!  said,  “We're  committed  to  the  international  foundation  of  
freedom  of  expression  and  privacy,  and  we'll  continue  translating  those  principles  into  
practical  steps  to  be  followed  by  our  employees
