Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical guide to privacy and data protection law in Israel covers every aspect of the subject, including the protection of private life as a fundamental – constitutional – right, the application of international and/or regional conventions protecting the right to privacy, privacy rights in the context of electronic communications or at the workplace, and the protection of individuals regarding the processing of personal data relating to them.

Download or read book Israeli Data Protection Law written by Omer Tene and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Israeli data protection law is in flux. The elevation of the right of privacy to constitutional status has moved the Israeli Supreme Court to extend privacy and data protection beyond the scope of the Privacy Protection Act of 1981 (quot;PPAquot;). The PPA too is changing: driven by technological developments and the will to harmonize Israeli law with European standards, a government committee has recently proposed a wholesale reform of the statute's data protection chapter. To increase compliance and enforcement levels, Israel has established a new data protection authority - the Law and Information Technologies Authority - to replace the former Database Registrar. I review in this article the spate of recent changes in Israeli data protection law and comment on persisting discrepancies between Israeli and European data protection.

Download or read book Reforming the Law from the Ground Up written by Omer Tene and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years, Israel's privacy and data protection law, which dates back to 1981, did not figure prominently in compliance programs of domestic and foreign companies operating in Israel, due to scarce enforcement activity and low public awareness. The establishment of the Israeli Law, Information and Technology Authority (ILITA) in 2006 and its active enforcement stance have changed this. In a period of just 2-3 years, amid a flurry of regulatory and individual enforcement activity, data protection has become a significant factor for compliance officers and chief information officers in Israel, particularly in the data-rich financial services, telecom and health sectors. With the EU data protection regulators' ''adequacy'' opinion and the decision of global regulators to be hosted in Jerusalem for their 32nd annual conference, Israel catapulted to the center of global attention.

Download or read book Does Law Matter Online Empirical Evidence on Privacy Law Compliance written by Michael Birnhack and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does law matter in the information environment? What can we learn from the experience of applying a particular legal regime to the online environment? Informational privacy (or, in European terms, data protection) provides an excellent illustration of the challenges faced by regulators who seek to secure rights and shape the behavior of online players. A comprehensive study of Israeli websites' compliance with information privacy regulation during 2003 and 2006 provides insight into some of these challenges. The study examined the Information Privacy Practices of 1360 active websites, i.e. the extent to which these sites comply with applicable legal requirements related to information privacy, and their other privacy-related practices. Information Practices were explored on three levels: first, we examined the legal requirements which apply to each Information Practice under current Israeli law (legal analysis); second, we analyzed the declared privacy policies posted on each website; and third, we studied the actual Information Practices executed by each website as to data security. The findings show that websites perform poorly and have a low level of compliance with the legal requirements. Most websites do not provide privacy protection to users at the level required by the law. Websites routinely collect personal data from users, although the practice of collecting data is slightly lower among commercial and organizational websites than in other categories. Among public and private sector websites compliance was relatively low, from 16% to 22% of the websites that collect personal data gave users some sort of notice. The popular and sensitive websites, commercially owned by large corporations, had substantially better levels of compliance, while the most popular websites had the lowest number of violations. The overall picture that emerges from the findings is one in which the law seems to have only a relatively minor role in shaping users' privacy experience online, with other forces and factors clearly at play. The findings may further suggest that information privacy regulation is most effective with commercial enterprises, which are better able to acquire legal advice and respond to potential legal liability. It is less effective with small enterprises and/or individual users who operate websites, because they usually cannot afford the somewhat sophisticated legal counsel that is required for establishing and maintaining a data protection policy. This is a troublesome conclusion, given the increasing threats to the privacy of users in the Web 2.0 environment. Subsequently, the findings suggest that data protection regulation may not create one legal measure that fits all. Regulating the online behavior of various players may require tailored regulatory measures.
Download or read book The Evolution of the Law and Politics of Water written by Joseph W. Dellapenna and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-04-21 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to a famous Talmudic story (Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Shabbat: 31a), a gentile once approached Rabbi Hillel and asked to be taught the entire Torah while standing on one foot. Hillel replied, ‘Love your neighbour as yourself. That is the entire Torah. The rest is simply an explanation. Go and learn it!’ In much the same way, Jewish law can be described in one word—Torah. All the rest is simply an explanation. The Torah, also known as the Bible, the five books of Moses, and the Pentateuch, was written over 3,000 years ago. Since then, Jewish law has developed various interpretations and applications of the Torah, interpretations of those interpre- tions, and so on. Jewish law contains civil dictates as well as religious protocol. Problems that arose in the framework of religious life and problems surrounding civil relationships both found solutions in the same legal source—the Torah and the Halacha, the Jewish legal interpretations and rulings. This chapter on water law in the Jewish tradition provides insight into Jewish law and custom in general, and rules related to the protection of water sources in particular. One should not look, however, to find a written code of Jewish law, as there is none.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid development of information technology has exacerbated the need for robust personal data protection, the right to which is safeguarded by both European Union (EU) and Council of Europe (CoE) instruments.

This handbook is designed to familiarise legal practitioners not specialised in data protection with this emerging area of the law. It provides an overview of the EU’s and the CoE’s applicable legal frameworks. It also explains key case law, summarising major rulings of both the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights. In addition, it presents hypothetical scenarios that serve as practical illustrations of the diverse issues encountered in this ever-evolving field.
