  Internet of Things (IoT) applications have the potential to derive sensitive
information about individuals. Therefore, developers must exercise due
diligence to make sure that data are managed according to the privacy
regulations and data protection laws. However, doing so can be a difficult and
challenging task. Recent research has revealed that developers typically face
difficulties when complying with regulations. One key reason is that, at times,
regulations are vague, and could be challenging to extract and enact such legal
requirements. In our research paper, we have conducted a systematic analysis of
the data protection laws that are used across different continents, namely: (i)
General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), (ii) the Personal Information
Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), (iii) the California Consumer
Privacy Act (CCPA), (iv) Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), and (v) New
Zealand's Privacy Act 1993. In this technical report, we presented the detailed
results of the conducted framework analysis method to attain a comprehensive
view of different data protection laws and highlighted the disparities, in
order to assist developers in adhering to the regulations across different
regions, along with creating a Combined Privacy Law Framework (CPLF). After
that, we gave an overview of various Privacy by Design (PbD) schemes developed
previously by different researchers. Then, the key principles and individuals'
rights of the CPLF were mapped with the privacy principles, strategies,
guidelines, and patterns of the Privacy by Design (PbD) schemes in order to
investigate the gaps in existing schemes.
