Download or read book Privacy and Security in the Digital Age written by Michael Friedewald and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-01-13 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Privacy and data protection are recognized as fundamental human rights. Recent developments, however, indicate that security issues are used to undermine these fundamental rights. As new technologies effectively facilitate collection, storage, processing and combination of personal data government agencies take advantage for their own purposes. Increasingly, and for other reasons, the business sector threatens the privacy of citizens as well. The contributions to this book explore the different aspects of the relationship between technology and privacy. The emergence of new technologies threaten increasingly privacy and/or data protection; however, little is known about the potential of these technologies that call for innovative and prospective analysis, or even new conceptual frameworks. Technology and privacy are two intertwined notions that must be jointly analyzed and faced. Technology is a social practice that embodies the capacity of societies to transform themselves by creating the possibility to generate and manipulate not only physical objects, but also symbols, cultural forms and social relations. In turn, privacy describes a vital and complex aspect of these social relations. Thus technology influences people’s understanding of privacy, and people’s understanding of privacy is a key factor in defining the direction of technological development. This book was originally published as a special issue of Innovation: The European Journal of Social Science Research.

Download or read book Sichtbarkeitsregime written by Leon Hempel and published by Vs Verlag Fur Sozialwissenschaften. This book was released on 2011 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sicherheits- und Überwachungstechnologien etablieren Sichtbarkeitsregime, die sich ihrerseits der Einsehbarkeit und damit der Kontrolle entziehen. Während Bevölkerung und Individuen in neuer Weise lesbar gemacht werden – als Gefahrenträger, die kontrolliert, als Gefährdete, die geschützt, als Konsumenten, deren Präferenzen erhoben, als Angestellte, deren Leistungen evaluiert werden –, bleibt die gesellschaftliche Funktionalität der Technik zu dechiffrieren. Im Zeichen von Prävention vollzieht sich ein radikaler Innovationsschub, der die Verfasstheit liberaler Gesellschaften in Frage stellt und traditionelle Grenzziehungen auf dem Feld der Sicherheit untergräbt. Kriminalität, Terrorismus, Krieg und Naturkatastrophen werden zu einem Kontinuum der Bedrohung verknüpft. Neben den staatlichen Organen treten private Sicherheitsagenturen, Anwender von Sicherheitstechnologien wie Verkehrsunternehmen, kommerzielle Datensammler und die Think Tanks der Sicherheitsforschung. Der Sonderband nimmt dieses Zusammenspiel von Akteuren, Technologien und strategischen Wirkungen ebenso in den Blick wie die gesellschaftlichen Bewegungen, die Privatheit als Residuum gegen Überwachung und Kontrolle neu entdecken.

Download or read book Risk and the Law written by Gordon Woodman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-08-22 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural and man-made risks have long been recognised as vital conditioning factors in the formation of social institutions and the conduct of social life. In this volume internationally recognised experts examine in detail the implications in practice of the modern concept of risk in particular legal fields. The chapters explore the ways in which the law in its many branches can accommodate, manage and reduce the extent of risk in the modern "Risk Society", matters of pressing importance for the development of all branches of law in all jurisdictions. The fields of activity affected by the issues discussed include law, medicine, insurance, state security and public health. The collection also contributes to comparative legal studies in respect of risk and the law, presenting a perspective which has largely been neglected outside the works of general theory. Thus the topics considered range from the civil law of injuries in Germany and the food law of the European Union, through sales of goods, including international sales, in English, German and French law, to the English law of torts. Risk and the Law, written by specialists who are authorities in their fields, will be of interest to academics and students who are interested in new developments and ideas regarding the relationship between risk, law and social change in many different fields.
Download or read book Enforcing Privacy written by David Wright and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about enforcing privacy and data protection. It demonstrates different approaches – regulatory, legal and technological – to enforcing privacy. If regulators do not enforce laws or regulations or codes or do not have the resources, political support or wherewithal to enforce them, they effectively eviscerate and make meaningless such laws or regulations or codes, no matter how laudable or well-intentioned. In some cases, however, the mere existence of such laws or regulations, combined with a credible threat to invoke them, is sufficient for regulatory purposes. But the threat has to be credible. As some of the authors in this book make clear – it is a theme that runs throughout this book – “carrots” and “soft law” need to be backed up by “sticks” and “hard law”. The authors of this book view privacy enforcement as an activity that goes beyond regulatory enforcement, however. In some sense, enforcing privacy is a task that befalls to all of us. Privacy advocates and members of the public can play an important role in combatting the continuing intrusions upon privacy by governments, intelligence agencies and big companies. Contributors to this book - including regulators, privacy advocates, academics, SMEs, a Member of the European Parliament, lawyers and a technology researcher – share their views in the one and only book on Enforcing Privacy.

Download or read book Certification Trust Accountability Liability written by Peter Rott and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an in-depth analysis of the function of certification in general and of certification systems in a range of different sectors. The authors examine certification from both a theoretical and a practical standpoint and from the perspectives of different disciplines, including law, economics, management, and the social sciences. They also discuss instruments that help ensure the quality of certification, which can range from public law measures such as accreditation, to private law incentives, to deterrents, such as liability towards victims. Further, they assess the role of competition between certification bodies. Readers will learn the commonalities as well as the necessary distinctions between certification bodies in various fields, which may stem from the different functions they serve. These similarities and differences may also be the result of different types of damage that the certified producer or service provider could potentially cause to individuals or to the public at large. Often, companies use certification bodies as an argument to assure the general public, e.g. regarding the safety of medical products. Closer inspection reveals, however, that sometimes certification bodies themselves lack credibility. The book offers essential information on the benefits and pitfalls associated with certification.
Download or read book Consent in European Data Protection Law written by Eleni Kosta and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2013-03-21 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, consent is a fundamental concept in the European legal framework on data protection. The analysis of the historical and theoretical context carried out in this book reveals that consent was not an intrinsic notion in the birth of data protection. The concept of consent was included in data protection legislation in order to enhance the role of the data subject in the data protection arena, and to allow the data subject to have more control over the collection and processing of his/her personal information. This book examines the concept of consent and its requirements in the Data Protection Directive, taking into account contemporary considerations on bioethics and medical ethics, as well as recent developments in the framework of the review of the Directive. It further studies issues of consent in electronic communications, carrying out an analysis of the consent-related provisions of the ePrivacy Directive.

Download or read book Information Sharing and Data Protection in the Area of Freedom Security and Justice written by Franziska Boehm and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-11-06 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Privacy and data protection in police work and law enforcement cooperation has always been a challenging issue. Current developments in EU internal security policy, such as increased information sharing (which includes the exchange of personal data between European law enforcement agencies and judicial actors in the area of freedom, security and justice (Europol, Eurojust, Frontex and OLAF)) and the access of EU agencies, in particular Europol and Eurojust, to data stored in European information systems such as the SIS (II), VIS, CIS or Eurodac raise interesting questions regarding the balance between the rights of individuals and security interests. This book deals with the complexity of the relations between these actors and offers for the first time a comprehensive overview of the structures for information exchange in the area of freedom, security and justice and their compliance with data protection rules in this field.
