merely “virtual” presence status can claim to do business in Grenada by
using, for example, a Grenada address or Grenadian domain name.
8. Encryption:
The legislation must make provision for regulations respecting the lawful
acquisition, use, import and export of encryption programs or other
encryption methods. The Police must be empowered to seize encryption
software. Magistrates/Judges must be empowered to direct persons to
provide assistance necessary to decode encrypted information.
9. Liability of intermediaries:
The legislation should make provision for clear definition of the liabilities of
Internet Service Providers, and others, for information transmitted over the
Internet. The legislation may determine that an ISP or other intermediary
who acts only as a conduit is not liable for the content of electronic
records provided that the intermediary has no actual knowledge or is not
aware of facts that would objectively indicate a likelihood of civil or
criminal liability in respect of material on the intermediary’s network.
10. Personal data (Data protection):
Legislation should make provision for the protection of personal data.
Provision should be made for the development of standards relating to
personal data.
11. Standards and Code of Conduct
Key Principles
Standards must be established to guide the quality of transactional
behaviour of intermediaries and e-commerce service providers, to protect
the name and reputation of Grenada as an international business centre.
