Download or read book The European General Data Protection Regulation and the consumer s utility Impact and consequences written by Indra Spiecker gen. Döhmann and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 25 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 Hohenheim, language: English, abstract: This paper aims to conduct a critical literature review on the main research question: Does the European General Data Protection Regulation increase consumer's utility by increasing privacy protection? The paper is structured as follows in chapter 2.1, a systematic framework of the notion of privacy and privacy protection will be described. Afterwards, the paper will study which kind of personal data is collected, data collection technologies such as user log-in information, cookies or IP address, and the usage process of personal data. Then, in chapter 2.3, the command and control policy is considered a consumer policy instrument to determine how the consumer can benefit from the command and control policy and how the government can set limitations about the level of privacy protection and consumer's welfare. The last chapter 2.4 presents the significant articles of the law European General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) for privacy protection and the consequences for non-compliance with the EU GDPR. In the main part, the research tries to answer the following questions split in chapters 3.1 and 3.2: How can we reduce privacy concerns? Can a privacy protection law like the EU GDPR lower privacy concerns and protect the welfare of the consumer? This paper sets out the main arguments for introducing consumers’ privacy concerns, privacy paradox, and consumer's utility regarding consumer welfare to answer the questions as mentioned above. Finally, the paper will summarise the findings and a concluding solution to the research question. Edward Snowden's disclosures regarding the surveillance practices of the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica affair, in which data from up to 87 million Facebook users were illegally collected. These both cases were the largest personal data scandal in the past years. The violations of privacy protection create enormous concerns, not only for the affected firms but also for their customers. Depending on the firm, the stolen data can range from relatively harmless information to extremely personal data. Besides that, a breach of privacy rights will cost a lot of money to remediate and do serious harm to a firm's credibility and reputation. These examples have sent alarming signals to governments, firms, consumer policy, and consumers to address the problem of personal processing data and privacy protection.

Download or read book Personal Data Protection and Legal Developments in the European Union written by Tzanou, Maria and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-06-12 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the age of technological advancement, including the emergence of artificial intelligence, big data, and the internet of things, the need for privacy and protection has risen massively. This phenomenon has led to the enforcement of two major legal directives in the European Union (EU) that aim to provide vigorous protection of personal data. There is a need for research on the repercussions and developments that have materialized with these recent regulations and how the rest of the world has been affected. Personal Data Protection and Legal Developments in the European Union is an essential reference source that critically discusses different aspects of the GDPR and the Law Enforcement Directive as well as recent jurisprudential developments concerning data privacy in the EU and its member states. It also addresses relevant recent case law of the Court of Justice of the EU, the European Court of Human Rights, and national courts. Featuring research on topics such as public transparency, medical research data, and automated decision making, this book is ideally designed for law practitioners, data scientists, policymakers, IT professionals, politicians, researchers, analysts, academicians, and students working in the areas of privacy, data protection, big data, information technology, and human rights law.
Download or read book The Latest EU Data Privacy Regulations written by Uarda Milla and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2023-10-18 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 1,0, University of Dusseldorf "Heinrich Heine", language: English, abstract: The digital age has revolutionized our lives, offering convenient access to information and services. However, this convenience comes at the cost of data privacy. With a vast majority of the EU population using the internet in 2021, personal data exchange is rampant. Surprisingly, despite privacy being a human right, only 39% of internet users read data protection policies before sharing their personal information. To safeguard personal identities, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was introduced. While it empowers consumers, it also impacts businesses, especially in terms of competition. This literature analysis delves into the GDPR's effects on companies. The GDPR sets essential principles, making it applicable to all firms processing EU citizens' data. Compliance involves various measures, contingent on data processing volume and method. The GDPR grants consumers rights, including being informed, access, being forgotten, objection, and data portability. These rights offer benefits to companies, fostering trust and enhancing their competitive edge. Companies complying with GDPR have gained more customers and partners, bolstering their market position. Nevertheless, many companies view GDPR negatively, fearing legal uncertainties and curtailment of business activities, particularly affecting innovative, digital firms. GDPR may weaken the competitive position compared to non-GDPR competitors, as it increases costs and causes the loss of some collaboration partners. In conclusion, this analysis demonstrates that the GDPR has had an adverse effect on companies, particularly concerning their competitive position. It suggests implementing the GDPR as a uniform standard framework to ensure fair competition among companies, addressing the law's uneven impact. This work contributes to the understanding of the GDPR's impact on businesses, highlighting the need for more research in this area, which currently tends to be consumer-centric.
Download or read book GDPR written by Kimberly Houser and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EU Data Protection Agencies have been vigorously enforcing violations of regional and national data protection law in recent years against U.S. tech companies but few changes have been made to their business model of exchanging free services for personal data. With the Cambridge Analytica debacle revealing how insufficient American privacy law is, we now find ourselves questioning whether the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is not the onerous 99 article regulation to be feared, but rather a creation years ahead of its time. This paper will explain how the differences in U.S. and EU privacy and data protection law and ideology have led to a wide divergence in enforcement actions and what U.S. companies will need to do in order legally process the data of their users in the EU. The failure of U.S. tech companies to fulfill the requirements of the GDPR, which has extraterritorial application and becomes applicable on May 25, 2, could result in massive fines (up to $4 billion using the example of Google). The GDPR will mandate a completely new business model for these U.S. tech companies that have been operating for well over a decade with very loose restrictions under U.S. law. Will the GDPR be the end of Google and Facebook or will it be embraced as the gold standard of how companies ought to operate?
Download or read book Guide to the GDPR written by Maciej Gawronski and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2019-07-17 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To execute and guarantee the right to privacy and data protection within the European Union (EU), the EU found it necessary to establish a stable, consistent framework for personal data protection and to enforce it in a decisive manner. This book, the most comprehensive guide available to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is the first English edition, updated and expanded, of a bestselling book published in Poland in 2018 by a renowned technology lawyer, expert to the European Commission on cloud computing and to the Article 29 Working Party (now: the European Data Protection Board) on data transfers who in fact contributed ideas to the GDPR. The implications of major innovations of the new system – including the obligation of businesses to consult the GDPR first rather than relevant Member State legislation and the extension of the GDPR to companies located outside of the European Economic Area – are fully analysed for the benefit of lawyers and companies worldwide. Among the specific issues and topics covered are the following: insight into the tricky nature of the GDPR; rules relating to free movement of personal data; legal remedies, liability, administrative sanctions; how to prove compliance with GDPR; direct liability of subcontractors (sub-processors); managing incidents and reporting data breaches; information on when and under what conditions the GDPR rules may apply to non-EU parties; backups and encryption; how to assess risk and adjust security accordingly and document the process; guidelines of the European Data Protection Board; and the GDPR’s digest for obligated parties in a form of a draft data protection policy. The Guide often breaks down GDPR articles into checklists of specific requirements. Of special value are the numerous ready-to-adapt template compliance documents presented in Part II. Because the GDPR contains a set of new obligations and a perspective of severe administrative fines for non-compliance, this guide is an indispensable practical resource for corporate data protection officers, in-house counsel, lawyers in data protection practice, and e-commerce start-ups worldwide.
Download or read book Data Protection and Privacy Under Pressure written by Gert Vermeulen and published by Maklu. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Snowden revelations, the adoption in May 2016 of the General Data Protection Regulation and several ground-breaking judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union, data protection and privacy are high on the agenda of policymakers, industries and the legal research community. Against this backdrop, Data Protection and Privacy under Pressure sheds light on key developments where individuals’ rights to data protection and privacy are at stake. The book discusses the persistent transatlantic tensions around various EU-US data transfer mechanisms and EU jurisdiction claims over non-EU-based companies, both sparked by milestone court cases. Additionally, it scrutinises the expanding control or surveillance mechanisms and interconnection of databases in the areas of migration control, internal security and law enforcement, and oversight thereon. Finally, it explores current and future legal challenges related to big data and automated decision-making in the contexts of policing, pharmaceutics and advertising.
Download or read book EU Data Protection Law written by Denis Kelleher and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data Protection has become one of the most important news topics of recent years, playing a role in elections and referendums, and posing a whole host of new legal questions. At its core, data protection is the statutory protection provided to protect the privacy of individuals with regard to personal data. It's places various obligations on persons who keep personal data, eg that the data must be accurate and kept for lawful purposes. EU Data Protection Law provides an analysis of the EU's proposed General Data Protection Regulation. The book analyses the rights of the data subject including rights to information, access, rectification, erasure (right to be forgotten), restriction, portability and objection. It examines in detail the role and responsibilities of controllers and processors together with governance (including the Data Protection Officer) and risk (data protection by design and default, the Data Protection Impact Assessment, data security and the notification of subjects). The role of data protection authorities, the European Data Protection Board and enforcement mechanisms such as fines and other liabilities and penalties are also explored. Other relevant Directives are discussed together with appropriate case law. This comprehensive treatment is the only one of its kind. It will also be of international appeal, as Ireland's perspective in this area carries great weight in light of Ireland's position as the European headquarters for many digital technology companies such as Facebook and Google.

Download or read book Privacy and Data Protection based on the GDPR written by Leo Besemer and published by Van Haren. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information about people is becoming increasingly valuable. Enabled by new technologies, organizations collect and process personal data on a large scale. Free flow of data across Europe is vital for the common market, but it also presents a clear risk to the fundamental rights of individuals. This issue was addressed by the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament with the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For many organizations processing personal data, the GDPR came as a shock. Not so much its publication in the spring of 2016, but rather the articles that appeared about it in professional journals and newspapers leading to protests and unrest. “The heavy requirements of the law would cause very expensive measures in companies and organizations”, was a concern. In addition, companies which failed to comply “would face draconian fines”. This book is intended to explain where these requirements came from and to prove that the GDPR is not incomprehensible, that the principles are indeed remarkably easy to understand. It will help anyone in charge of, or involved in, the processing of personal data to take advantage of the innovative technologies in processing without being unduly hindered by the limitations of the GDPR. The many examples and references to EDPB (European Data Protection Board) publications, recent news articles and case law clarify the requirements of the law and make them accessible and understandable. “Leo’s book can provide very effective support to you and your colleagues in reaching this understanding and applying it in practice.” Fintan Swanton, Managing Director of Cygnus Consulting Ltd., Ireland.
Download or read book Health Data Pools Under European Data Protection and Competition Law written by Giulia Schneider and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-04-13 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the emerging economic reality of health data pools from the perspective of European Union policy and law. The contractual sharing of health data for research purposes is giving rise to a free movement of research data, which is strongly encouraged at European policy level within the Digital Single Market Strategy. However, it has also a strong impact on data subjects' fundamental right to data protection and smaller businesses and research entities ability to carry out research and compete in innovation markets. Accordingly the work questions under which conditions health data sharing is lawful under European data protection and competition law. For these purposes, the work addresses the following sub-questions: i) which is the emerging innovation paradigm in digital health research?; ii) how are health data pools addressed at European policy level?; iii) do European data protection and competition law promote health data-driven innovation objectives, and how?; iv) which are the limits posed by the two frameworks to the free pooling of health data? The underlying assumption of the work is that both branches of European Union law are key regulatory tools for the creation of a common European health data space as envisaged in the Commissions 2020 European strategy for data. It thus demonstrates that both European data protection law, as defined under the General Data Protection Regulation, and European competition law and policy set research enabling regimes regarding health data, provided specific normative conditions are met. From a further perspective, both regulatory frameworks place external limits to the freedom to share (or not share) research valuable data.
Download or read book Corporate Governance and the new GDPR General Data Protection Regulation written by Robert Komorowsky and published by GRIN Verlag. 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.
