Download or read book The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act written by Stephanie E. Perrin and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act" was approved by the House of Commons in April 2000 and took initial effect on January 1, 2001. The Act applies to any organization that collects, uses or discloses personal information in the course of commercial activity. Within four years, it will apply to the entire private sector in Canada (except Quebec), unless the provinces and territories enact equivalent legislation. The Act is primarily designed to support and promote electronic commerce by protecting personal information that is collected, used, or disclosed in certain circumstances. It gives the force of law to the CSA Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information that representatives of business, government, and interest groups developed between 1992 and 1995. Parts 2-5 of the Act provide for the federal government to approve the use of electronic means for companies and individuals to communicate or record information or transactions electronically in the form of digital signatures and include amendments to the "Canada Evidence Act," the "Statutory Instruments Act," and the "Statute Revision Act." This book offers complete analysis of every provision in the Act. It also includes the CSA Model Code; detailed discussion of critical privacy issues; frequently asked questions; Privacy Impact Assessment guidelines; sample privacy policies; reproduction of the entire Act; and reproduction of European and OECD data protection initiatives.

Download or read book Data Protection in the Internet written by Dário Moura Vicente and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-01 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book identifies and explains the different national approaches to data protection – the legal regulation of the collection, storage, transmission and use of information concerning identified or identifiable individuals – and determines the extent to which they could be harmonised in the foreseeable future. In recent years, data protection has become a major concern in many countries, as well as at supranational and international levels. In fact, the emergence of computing technologies that allow lower-cost processing of increasing amounts of information, associated with the advent and exponential use of the Internet and other communication networks and the widespread liberalization of the trans-border flow of information have enabled the large-scale collection and processing of personal data, not only for scientific or commercial uses, but also for political uses. A growing number of governmental and private organizations now possess and use data processing in order to determine, predict and influence individual behavior in all fields of human activity. This inevitably entails new risks, from the perspective of individual privacy, but also other fundamental rights, such as the right not to be discriminated against, fair competition between commercial enterprises and the proper functioning of democratic institutions. These phenomena have not been ignored from a legal point of view: at the national, supranational and international levels, an increasing number of regulatory instruments – including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation applicable as of 25 May 2018 – have been adopted with the purpose of preventing personal data misuse. Nevertheless, distinct national approaches still prevail in this domain, notably those that separate the comprehensive and detailed protective rules adopted in Europe since the 1995 Directive on the processing of personal data from the more fragmented and liberal attitude of American courts and legislators in this respect. In a globalized world, in which personal data can instantly circulate and be used simultaneously in communications networks that are ubiquitous by nature, these different national and regional approaches are a major source of legal conflict.

Book excerpt: Canada is at a critical juncture in the evolution of its communications policy. Will our information and communications technologies continue in a market-oriented, neoliberal direction, or will they preserve and strengthen broader democratic values? Media Divides offers a comprehensive, up-to-date audit of communications law and policy. Using the concept of communications rights as a framework for analysis, leading scholars not only reveal the nation’s democratic deficits in five key domains – media, access, the Internet, privacy, and copyright – they also formulate recommendations, including the establishment of a Canadian right to communicate, for the future.

Download or read book Regulating Screens written by André H. Caron and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The digital age has carried with it a tsunami of change. Children who have grown up with the delivery platforms that are a part of that change are now able to absorb more and more unregulated media on their own, often without any supervision. Bedroom computers, tablets, and smart phones provide private, individualized access to all kinds of content that may not be suitable for children. What rules and regulations exist to counter this potentially threatening environment? In Regulating Screens, André Caron and Ronald Cohen examine how governments and non-governmental organizations have been doing their part to make television and the Internet safer for children. In practical terms, they provide parents, educators, and politicians with an up-to-date inventory of the existing laws, codes, and standards in Canada, as well as information on who administers them and how they can be accessed. Given the Internet's global reach, Caron and Cohen also describe access controls in place in the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. Regulating Screens offers efficient access to otherwise scattered and difficult-to-find information; it is essential reading for anyone interested in how to safeguard children against risky content, whether accessed on broadcast or virtual platforms.
Download or read book The Right to Privacy in Employment written by Marta Otto and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of the twenty-first century the term 'privacy' gained new prominence around the world, but in the legal arena it is still a concept in 'disarray'. Enclosing it within legal frameworks seems to be a particularly difficult task in the employment context, where encroachments upon privacy are not only potentially more frequent, but also, and most importantly, qualitatively different from those taking place in other areas of modern society. This book suggests that these problems can only be addressed by the development of a holistic approach to its protection, an approach that addresses the issue of not only contemporary regulation but also the conceptualization, adjudication, and common (public) perception of employees' privacy. The book draws on a comprehensive analysis of the conceptual as well as regulatory convergences and divergences between European, American and Canadian models of privacy protection, to reconsider the conceptual and normative foundations of the contemporary paradigm of employees' privacy and to elucidate the pillars of a holistic approach to the protection of right to privacy in employment.
Download or read book Privacy in the Information Society written by Philip Leith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information society projects promise wealth and better services to those countries which digitise and encourage the consumer and citizen to participate. As paper recedes into the background and digital data becomes the primary resource in the information society, what does this mean for privacy? Can there be privacy when every communication made through ever-developing ubiquitous devices is recorded? Data protection legislation developed as a reply to large scale centralised databases which contained incorrect data and where data controllers denied access and refused to remedy information flaws. Some decades later the technical world is very different one, and whilst data protection remains important, the cries for more privacy-oriented regulation in commerce and eGov continue to rise. What factors should underpin the creation of new means of regulation? The papers in this collection have been drawn together to develop the positive and negative effects upon the information society which privacy regulation implies.
Download or read book Governing Cross Border Data Flows written by Svetlana Yakovleva and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-02-27 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governing Cross-Border Data Flows explores how the European Union can simultaneously reconcile and pursue two important legal and policy objectives, namely: protecting fundamental rights guaranteed under the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (EU Charter) concerning privacy and personal data, while also maintaining and developing a binding, rules-based global trading system to ensure appropriate access to foreign digital markets for EU businesses. The book demonstrates a significant conflict between international trade law and European data privacy law when it comes to the governance of cross-border flows of personal data. To resolve the tensions caused by this clash, the book proposes concrete and detailed ways to ameliorate the situation from both ends (international trade and personal data protection), specifically through reforms of both international trade and chapter V of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). To explain how such reforms could be effectuated, Yakovleva examines the role of discourse in the evolution of trade law in the last two decades. The book also paves the way for the further research necessary to design a fully-fledged reform proposal of the EU framework for the transfer of personal data outside the European Economic Area.
