Book excerpt: This book provides expert advice on the practical implementation of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and systematically analyses its various provisions. Examples, tables, a checklist etc. showcase the practical consequences of the new legislation. The handbook examines the GDPR’s scope of application, the organizational and material requirements for data protection, the rights of data subjects, the role of the Supervisory Authorities, enforcement and fines under the GDPR, and national particularities. In addition, it supplies a brief outlook on the legal consequences for seminal data processing areas, such as Cloud Computing, Big Data and the Internet of Things.Adopted in 2016, the General Data Protection Regulation will come into force in May 2018. It provides for numerous new and intensified data protection obligations, as well as a significant increase in fines (up to 20 million euros). As a result, not only companies located within the European Union will have to change their approach to data security; due to the GDPR’s broad, transnational scope of application, it will affect numerous companies worldwide.

Book excerpt: The cloud is a business sector in which U.S. companies lead the world in new products and services. The market for cloud computing is already a multibillion-dollar international market. Forrester Research Inc. has predicted a growth in the size of this market from $40.7 billion in 2011 to more than $241 billion in 2020. Due to the international dimensions of cloud computing, regulations outside of the United States are now as important as those inside it. The European Union is the most important bilateral trade area for the United States, and its proposed data protection regulation is of profound significance for U.S. companies that offer cloud services. As the European Commission notes, concerns about data protection constitute "one of the most serious barriers to cloud computing take-up." It calls for "a chain of confidence-building steps to create trust in cloud solutions." One of the most important of these steps is the Proposed Data Protection Regulation. U.S. cloud services should take particular note of two areas of the Proposed Regulation. The first concerns its limitations on the use of an individual's consent to permit data processing. The second is how it crafts a broad jurisdictional reach for EU information privacy law. This Essay argues that the Proposed Data Protection Regulation drastically narrows the conditions for reliance on the use of "consent" mechanisms as a justification for data processing. The Proposed Regulation also extends EU privacy jurisdiction beyond the existing framework. This Essay analyzes the resulting strict "fair information practices" regarding consent in EU information privacy law. It also proposes adjustments to the proposed jurisdictional approach for EU privacy law.

Download or read book European Data Protection In Good Health written by Serge Gutwirth and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-22 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Europe has a significant legal data protection framework, built up around EU Directive 95/46/EC and the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the question of whether data protection and its legal framework are ‘in good health’ is increasingly being posed. Advanced technologies raise fundamental issues regarding key concepts of data protection. Falling storage prices, increasing chips performance, the fact that technology is becoming increasingly embedded and ubiquitous, the convergence of technologies and other technological developments are broadening the scope and possibilities of applications rapidly. Society however, is also changing, affecting the privacy and data protection landscape. The ‘demand’ for free services, security, convenience, governance, etc, changes the mindsets of all the stakeholders involved. Privacy is being proclaimed dead or at least worthy of dying by the captains of industry; governments and policy makers are having to manoeuvre between competing and incompatible aims; and citizens and customers are considered to be indifferent. In the year in which the plans for the revision of the Data Protection Directive will be revealed, the current volume brings together a number of chapters highlighting issues, describing and discussing practices, and offering conceptual analysis of core concepts within the domain of privacy and data protection. The book’s first part focuses on surveillance, profiling and prediction; the second on regulation, enforcement, and security; and the third on some of the fundamental concepts in the area of privacy and data protection. Reading the various chapters it appears that the ‘patient’ needs to be cured of quite some weak spots, illnesses and malformations. European data protection is at a turning point and the new challenges are not only accentuating the existing flaws and the anticipated difficulties, but also, more positively, the merits and the need for strong and accurate data protection practices and rules in Europe, and elsewhere.

Download or read book Understanding the New European Data Protection Rules written by Paul Lambert and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-09-20 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compared to the US, European data and privacy protection rules seem Draconian. The European rules apply to any enterprise doing business in the EU. The new rules are far more stringent than the last set. This book is a quick guide to the directives for companies, particularly US, that have to comply with them. Where US organizations and businesses who collect or receive EU personal data fail to comply with the rule, the bottom line can suffer from very significant official fines and penalties, as well as from users, customers or representative bodies to pursuing litigation. This guide is essential for all US enterprises who directly or indirectly deal with EU personal data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book brings together perspectives from multiple disciplines including psychology, law, IS, and computer science on data privacy and trust in the cloud. Cloud technology has fueled rapid, dramatic technological change, enabling a level of connectivity that has never been seen before in human history. However, this brave new world comes with problems. Several high-profile cases over the last few years have demonstrated cloud computing's uneasy relationship with data security and trust. This volume explores the numerous technological, process and regulatory solutions presented in academic literature as mechanisms for building trust in the cloud, including GDPR in Europe. The massive acceleration of digital adoption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic is introducing new and significant security and privacy threats and concerns. Against this backdrop, this book provides a timely reference and organising framework for considering how we will assure privacy and build trust in such a hyper-connected digitally dependent world. This book presents a framework for assurance and accountability in the cloud and reviews the literature on trust, data privacy and protection, and ethics in cloud computing.

This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, grade: 95,5, Centre International de Formation Européenne - Nice (CIFE European Online Academy), course: European Law - Informational Self Determination in Cloud Computing -- Data Transmission and Privacy with Subcontractors, language: English, abstract: The paper analyses the constraints of the current European directive on data protection regarding the free and active exercise of the right to informational self-determination in cloud computing with subcontractor chains. The analysis focuses in particular on the personal and geographical scope of the protection of personal data, on the legitimation of data processing under the aspect of data transmission into secure and unsecure third countries with subcontractor involvement. Herein it will be critically analysed whether the options under which it is possible to process personal data, will deliver sufficient privacy security in cloud computing. Furthermore, the paper examines the effectiveness and the consequences of possible legitimation of processing personal data in cloud computing. Also, will be regarded the legitimation options to include subcontractors in complex cloud computing landscapes in secure and unsecure third countries. The data subject and the cloud user position and chances to execute their rights of informational self-determination in distributed cloud computing landscapes will be critical looked at. Based on the multiple challenges that the personal data faces in complex cloud computing landscapes, various improvement potentials addressed to different actors emphasis the necessity to reduce the risk to the data subject ́s informational self-determination in cloud computing. Finally, the recent regulation on general data protection that was published by the Council on 11th June 2015 will be cross-checked against the identified gaps of the currently existing data protection directive, with an emphasis on the requirements to achieve informational self-determination.

Download or read book Data Protection Jurisdiction and Cloud Computing When are Cloud Users and Providers Subject to EU Data Protection Law The Cloud of Unknowing Part 3 written by W. Kuan Hon and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where data centres located in the European Economic Area ('EEA') are utilised for cloud computing services, the customers, and in some circumstances even cloud service providers, could become subject to the EU Data Protection Directive on the basis that the data centre may be an 'establishment' of theirs, or involves their 'making use' of equipment in the EEA. This may be the case whether the utilisation is direct or indirect through 'layers', for example where a non-EEA cloud user uses the services of an EEA provider, or indeed of a non-EEA provider who happens to use an EEA cloud provider or a data centre situated in the EEA. Software as a Service providers may similarly find themselves subject to the Directive if they save or retrieve cookies or the like on their end users' equipment, as EU data protection regulators have asserted, not without controversy. Even within the EEA, national implementations diverge. The current legal uncertainties are unsatisfactory, and may discourage the use of EEA data centres or EEA providers for cloud computing. This paper argues that Data Protection Directive obligations should be applied to entities based on country of origin, within the EEA, and targeting or directing, for non-EEA entities, with clear tests for both concepts. While the draft Data Protection Regulation would introduce approaches based on country of origin and targeting, the concepts it uses in that regard fail to address many of the current problems. The concepts of 'establishment', 'context of activities' and 'main establishment', if retained, need to be further clarified and harmonised, and the new concepts of 'occasionally offering' and 'monitoring' further explained. The status of providers of physical and software infrastructure, as well as intermediate providers, would also benefit from further clarification, in particular as regards in what circumstances EU data protection laws apply to processors, and which rules apply to cloud providers as processors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 1,0, Maastricht University (Faculty of Law), language: English, abstract: The paper at hand focuses on this current EU framework on data protection, mainly on the Data Protection Directive, and whether it can be considered as being successful. In order to comply with the course methodology the paper will first set out the rationale for the respective regime and how it has been realized in the EU. Then, the focus will rest on the successfulness of the current regime based on various criteria set out below. To give credit to future developments the European Commission‟s ambition to reform the current EU data protection regime will be referred to. Communication in today‟s society has largely been influenced by the technical developments of the last decades. Most processes in our daily life are, at least partly, influenced or governed by the Internet or mobile telephony. This central role of electronic communication provides a multitude of advantages, but also entails dangers which often cannot be overseen or which are not even known to the majority of the public. Besides the potential misuse of personal data by undertakings there is also the increasing risk of an unjustified analysis of said data by law enforcement agencies and intelligence services. It is well established that over the past years both the European and the national legislators are facing the challenge to balance both the public interest of security and the undertakings‟ interest to capitalize private data against the protection of privacy and personal data. Evidence suggests that there has been a change in the perception of the significance of privacy in the population leading to more and more citizens being concerned with the protection of their personal data. According to a Eurobarometer conducted in 2008 around 64 percent of European citizens are worried about the way in which companies and organizations dealt with their personal data. Therefore, it is appealing to analyze if a balance has been realized with respect to data protection in the EU.

Download or read book Protecting Their Own written by Judith Rauhofer and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent PRISM scandal has illustrated the privacy risks that EU citizens take when their personal information is stored or processed in the cloud. Although EU data protection laws are designed to restrict the private actors handling that data from processing it in a way and for purposes that are unlawful, those laws have no effect on public bodies, including law enforcement and security agencies in third countries whose access to that data may be authorized by the laws of their own countries. This is the case even if such access would violate the individual's fundamental human rights had it occurred within the EU. This article examines the means by which the existing EU data protection framework restricts the transfer of personal data from the EU to third countries particularly in a cloud context. It analyses whether the European Commission's proposal for a new Data Protection Regulation in its current form is likely to increase or reduce the protection provided to EU citizens in this regard, and it looks at the potential threat that the laws of third countries may pose to EU citizens' right to privacy with respect to data uploaded to the cloud. The article assesses, in particular, the laws authorising the US government's access to personal data held or processed by US cloud providers, focusing specifically on the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) . It also highlights the lack of equivalent protections currently granted to EU citizens by the US constitution. The article argues that in the light of the clear and present danger that provisions like §1881a of FISA represent to EU citizens' right to privacy, the EU institutions - as part of their own obligation under the Charter of Fundamental Rights and, in the future, the European Convention on Human Rights must take the appropriate steps to protect their citizens from this kind of interference.
