On April 17, 2013, Mexico's new Privacy Notice Guidelines
will go into effect. The Guidelines impose extensive requirements
for furnishing adequate data privacy notices and obtaining consent
before personal data is collected directly from a person or
electronically via "cookies," "web beacons" or
other automated means. The Guidelines are mandatory and
particularly important to employers that regularly collect,
process, and/or transfer personal data about employees or job
applicants, and to companies operating or advertising in Mexico
that use media technology that automatically collects personal data
online. To learn more about the Guidelines, please see

Action, by
