This book was released on 2018-08-22 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Law - Data protection, grade: 2,0, University of Applied Sciences Aalen, course: Emergent Issues in Governance, language: English, abstract: After nearly five years of intensive work, accompanied with charged political discussions and wide societal echo, the European Union’s (EU) Data Protection Reform has finally become a reality. The new framework consists of a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which replaced the former Data Protection Directive, and a new Directive for the police and criminal justice sector. They came into force in May 2016 and became applicable law in May 2018. The reform aims at modernizing and har-monizing data protection across the EU and is an essential element of the broader and particularly ambitious Digital Single Market Strategy that the EU launched in parallel and whose far-reaching consequences will unfold in the years to come. As this new European Data Protection Regulation will obviously entail many changes for all kinds of companies in the EU and thus Germany, the aim of this seminar paper is to answer the following question: “What measures do German companies have to implement in order to meet the data protection requirements of the new EU GDPR, which is applicable since May 25th 2018?” To answer this question, first some important terms that play a role in the regulation are defined (e.g. privacy by design / privacy by default). Then a systematic literature analysis is carried out to identify the most important contents of the GDPR, such as possible penalties for non-compliance. In addition, it will be described how companies outside the EU will be affect-ed by this European legislation. Next, it will be examined which are the crucial differences of the GDPR compared to the former German Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (BDSG), which documentary measures companies must implement as well as which infringements must be reported to supervisory authorities. Furthermore, the state of sources for this most current topic will be discussed by reviewing the various types of literature (journals, scientific papers, professional service firm literature) used in this seminar paper. Last but not least, the most important results of this seminar paper are summarised and then, based on these conclusions, four theses are presented and substantiated. Finally an outlook is given on further regulations that are currently in the EU legislative process and will come into effect in the coming years.
Download or read book GDPR Personal Data Protection in the European Union written by Mariusz Krzysztofek and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2021-04-07 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GDPR: Personal Data Protection in the European Union Mariusz Krzysztofek Personal data protection has become one of the central issues in any understanding of the current world system. In this connection, the European Union (EU) has created the most sophisticated regime currently in force with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679. Following the GDPR’s recent reform – the most extensive since the first EU laws in this area were adopted and implemented into the legal orders of the Member States – this book offers a comprehensive discussion of all principles of personal data processing, obligations of data controllers, and rights of data subjects, providing a thorough, up-to-date account of the legal and practical aspects of personal data protection in the EU. Coverage includes the recent Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) judgment on data transfers and new or updated data protection authorities’ guidelines in the EU Member States. Among the broad spectrum of aspects of the subject covered are the following: – right to privacy judgments of the CJEU and the European Court of Human Rights; – scope of the GDPR and its key definitions, key principles of personal data processing; – legal bases for the processing of personal data; – direct and digital marketing, cookies, and online behavioural advertising; – processing of personal data of employees; – sensitive data and criminal records; – information obligation & privacy notices; – data subjects rights; – data controller, joint controllers, and processors; – data protection by design and by default, data security measures, risk-based approach, records of personal data processing activities, notification of a personal data breach to the supervisory authority and communication to the data subject, data protection impact assessment, codes of conduct and certification; – Data Protection Officer; – transfers of personal data to non-EU/EEA countries; and – privacy in the Internet and surveillance age. Because the global scale and evolution of information technologies have changed the data processing environment and brought new challenges, and because many non-EU jurisdictions have adopted equivalent regimes or largely analogous regulations, the book will be of great usefulness worldwide. Multinational corporations and their customers and contractors will benefit enormously from consulting and using this book, especially in conducting case law, guidelines and best practices formulated by European data protection authorities. For lawyers and academics researching or advising clients on this area, this book provides an indispensable source of practical guidance and information for many years to come.

Download or read book Data Privacy and GDPR Handbook written by Sanjay Sharma and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive guide for ensuring data privacy and GDPR compliance Privacy regulation is increasingly rigorous around the world and has become a serious concern for senior management of companies regardless of industry, size, scope, and geographic area. The Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) imposes complex, elaborate, and stringent requirements for any organization or individuals conducting business in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA)—while also addressing the export of personal data outside of the EU and EEA. This recently-enacted law allows the imposition of fines of up to 5% of global revenue for privacy and data protection violations. Despite the massive potential for steep fines and regulatory penalties, there is a distressing lack of awareness of the GDPR within the business community. A recent survey conducted in the UK suggests that only 40% of firms are even aware of the new law and their responsibilities to maintain compliance. The Data Privacy and GDPR Handbook helps organizations strictly adhere to data privacy laws in the EU, the USA, and governments around the world. This authoritative and comprehensive guide includes the history and foundation of data privacy, the framework for ensuring data privacy across major global jurisdictions, a detailed framework for complying with the GDPR, and perspectives on the future of data collection and privacy practices. Comply with the latest data privacy regulations in the EU, EEA, US, and others Avoid hefty fines, damage to your reputation, and losing your customers Keep pace with the latest privacy policies, guidelines, and legislation Understand the framework necessary to ensure data privacy today and gain insights on future privacy practices The Data Privacy and GDPR Handbook is an indispensable resource for Chief Data Officers, Chief Technology Officers, legal counsel, C-Level Executives, regulators and legislators, data privacy consultants, compliance officers, and audit managers.

This book was released on 2019-06-13 with total page 1360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book provides an article-by-article commentary on the new EU General Data Protection Regulation. Adopted in April 2016 and applicable from May 2018, the GDPR is the centrepiece of the recent reform of the EU regulatory framework for protection of personal data. It replaces the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive and has become the most significant piece of data protection legislation anywhere in the world. The book is edited by three leading authorities and written by a team of expert specialists in the field from around the EU and representing different sectors (including academia, the EU institutions, data protection authorities, and the private sector), thus providing a pan-European analysis of the GDPR. It examines each article of the GDPR in sequential order and explains how its provisions work, thus allowing the reader to easily and quickly elucidate the meaning of individual articles. An introductory chapter provides an overview of the background to the GDPR and its place in the greater structure of EU law and human rights law. Account is also taken of closely linked legal instruments, such as the Directive on Data Protection and Law Enforcement that was adopted concurrently with the GDPR, and of the ongoing work on the proposed new E-Privacy Regulation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access volume of the AIDA Europe Research Series on Insurance Law and Regulation offers the first comprehensive legal and regulatory analysis of the Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD). The IDD came into force on 1 October 2018 and regulates the distribution of insurance products in the EU. The book examines the main changes accompanying the IDD and analyses its impact on insurance distributors, i.e., insurance intermediaries and insurance undertakings, as well as the market. Drawing on interrelations between the rules of the Directive and other fields that are relevant to the distribution of insurance products, it explores various topics related to the interpretation of the IDD - e.g. the harmonization achieved under it; its role as a benchmark for national legislators; and its interplay with other regulations and sciences - while also providing an empirical analysis of the standardised pre-contractual information document. Accordingly, the book offers a wealth of valuable insights for academics, regulators, practitioners and students who are interested in issues concerning insurance distribution.--

Furthermore, the European Union established clear basic principles for the collection, storage and use of personal data by governments, businesses and other organizations or individuals in Directive 95/46/EC and Directive 2002/58/EC on Privacy and Electronic communications. Nonetheless, the twenty-?rst century citizen – utilizing the full potential of what ICT-technology has to offer – seems to develop a digital persona that becomes increasingly part of his individual social identity. From this perspective, control over personal information is control over an aspect of the identity one projects in the world. The right to privacy is the freedom from unreasonable constraints on one’s own identity. Transactiondata–bothtraf?candlocationdata–deserveourparticularattention. As we make phone calls, send e-mails or SMS messages, data trails are generated within public networks that we use for these communications. While traf?c data are necessary for the provision of communication services, they are also very sensitive data. They can give a complete picture of a person’s contacts, habits, interests, act- ities and whereabouts. Location data, especially if very precise, can be used for the provision of services such as route guidance, location of stolen or missing property, tourist information, etc. In case of emergency, they can be helpful in dispatching assistance and rescue teams to the location of a person in distress. However, p- cessing location data in mobile communication networks also creates the possibility of permanent surveillance.
Download or read book Protection of Natural Persons with Regard to Automated Individual Decision Making in the GDPR written by Aleksandra Drożdż and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly, algorithms regulate our lives. Personal data is routinely processed on an unprecedented scale in both private and public sectors. This shift from more subjective and less structured human decision-making processes to automated ones has provoked numerous concerns with regard to the rights and freedoms of natural persons affected. In particular, those attached to profiling that can lead to discrimination influencing crucial opportunities of individuals, such as the ability to obtain credit, insurance, education, a job or even medical treatment. To the extent that automated individual decision-making is based on personal data, in the European Union it is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation. The author examines whether this legislative act affords sufficient protection of natural persons with regard to such processing, identifying the loopholes that hinder or prevent its efficacy and the de lege lata rules and de lege ferenda postulates that could provide individuals with effective protection in relation to automated individual decision-making. She provides an in-depth analysis of such aspects as the following: the GDPR’s background, terminology and material and territorial scope of application; key concerns regarding automated individual decision-making; specific and general provisions of the GDPR relevant to protection of natural persons with regard to automated individual decision-making; special and general rights of the data subject relevant to automated individual decision-making provided for in the GDPR; key limitations to algorithmic transparency; how profiling can create special categories of personal data by inference from ‘ordinary’ personal data; and how the version of reality derived from personal data is often at least partially inaccurate. To interpret the rules of the GDPR, the analysis draws on the travaux préparatoires, case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and national courts that concerns the previous Data Protection Directive, guidelines and opinions of the Article 29 Working Party and the European Data Protection Board, various reports and recommendations and numerous academic writings. In its consideration of some of the most controversial issues in the realm of personal data protection – issues whose role in the information society will grow rapidly – this book represents a major contribution to research and legal guidance at the confluence of law and new technologies concerning algorithmic accountability. Policymakers, regulators and lawyers active in the ongoing development of personal data protection law will become knowledgeable about interpretations and guidelines formulated by European data protection authorities, as well as examples and best practices in the field. Moreover practitioners will find the implementation of automated individual decision-making systems in accordance with the GDPR greatly facilitated. The analysis will assist data protection authorities and judicature in assessing such systems and interpreting the GDPR framework with regard to protection of natural persons in the years to come.

Download or read book Services of General Economic Interest as a Constitutional Concept of EU Law written by Caroline Wehlander and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-23 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a legal understanding regarding the core elements of SGEI (Services of General Interest), and of how the post-Lisbon constitutional framework on SGEI affects the application of the EU market rules by the EU Court of Justice, including procurement rules, to public services. It is built up of three parts, namely Part I: No Exit from EU Market Law for Public Services, Part II: SGEI as a Constitutional Voice for Public Services in EU Law, and Part III: The cost of loyalty, the relationship between EU procurement and state aid legislation on social services and the Treaty rules on SGEI, ending with a case study of Swedish systems of choice. Analyses are also provided on how the EU legislator engages in the Europeanisation of social services through EU procurement and state aid rules that have an ambiguous relationship to the Treaty framework on SGEI. Some explanation to this ambiguity is proposed by studying how the application of EU state aid rules could hinder the development of Swedish systems of choice liberalizing publicly-funded elderly care and school education. Included are propositions on crucial but yet unsettled legal questions, in particular what the legal meaning and relevance of the notion of economic activity in EU market law are and which core elements characterize SGEI. This book is therefore mainly aimed at legal academics and practitioners but may also be of interest to political scientists. Caroline Wehlander studied at Umeå University and holds the title of Doctor of Laws. She lives and works in Sweden.
Download or read book The Risk Based Approach to Data Protection written by Raphaël Gellert and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of a risk-based approach to data protection came to the fore during the overhaul process of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). At its core, it consists of endowing the regulated organizations that process personal data with increased responsibility for complying with data protection mandates. Such increased compliance duties are performed through risk management tools. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of this legal and policy development, which considers a legal, historical, and theoretical perspective. By framing the risk-based approach as a sui generis implementation of a specific regulation model 'known as meta regulation, this book provides a recollection of the policy developments that led to the adoption of the risk-based approach in light of regulation theory and debates. It also discusses a number of salient issues pertaining to the risk-based approach, such as its rationale, scope, and meaning; the role for regulators; and its potential and limits. The book also looks at they way it has been undertaken in major statutes with a focus on key provisions, such as data protection impact assessments or accountability. Finally, the book devotes considerable attention to the notion of risk. It explains key terms such as risk assessment and management. It discusses in-depth the role of harms in data protection, the meaning of a data protection risk, and the difference between risks and harms. It also critically analyses prevalent data protection risk management methodologies and explains the most important caveats for managing data protection risks.
