This book was released on 2021-02-10 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to ensure a consistent and high level of protection of the rights and freedoms of natural persons with regard to the processing of such data and to remove the obstacles to flows of personal data in all Member States of the EU, the “General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)” was adopted in 2016. Today, the GDPR is the main legislation in the EU for the protection of personal data of the natural persons. Due to the increased value of personal data in EU Member States, the objective of the GDPR is to provide high level protection of the data while harmonizing data protection within the EU. Even though it aims at a high level of data protection, it is questionable whether it actually achieves this objective. Since the natural persons provide their personal data on Internet frequently in order to purchase a product, the protection of consumers’ personal data is a significant matter in practice. In order to throw light on this matter, this thesis inquires the protection of consumers’ data in the EU regarding electronic contracts with businesses. Within the context, the main point that is discussed in this work is whether the personal data protection provided under the GDPR is sufficient to protect consumers' data regarding electronic contracts with businesses and some possible solutions and proposals to reduce the deficiencies of the GDPR protection.
Download or read book None of Your Business written by Peter P. Swire and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historic European Union Directive on Data Protection will take effect in October 1998. A key provision will prohibit transfer of personal information from Europe to other countries if they lack “adequate” protection of privacy. If enforced as written, the Directive could create enormous obstacles to commerce between Europe and other countries, such as the United States, that do not have comprehensive privacy statutes. In this book, Peter Swire and Robert Litan provide the first detailed analysis of the sector-by-sector effects of the Directive. They examine such topics as the text of the Directive, the tension between privacy laws and modern information technologies, issues affecting a wide range of businesses and other organizations, effects on the financial services sector, and effects on other prominent sectors with large transborder data flows. In light of the many and significant effects of the Directive as written, the book concludes with detailed policy recommendations on how to avoid a coming trade war with Europe. The book will be of interest to the wide range of individuals and organizations affected by the important new European privacy laws. More generally, the privacy clash discussed in the book will prove a major precedent for how electronic commerce and world data flows will be governed in the Internet Age.

Download or read book Personal Data in Competition Consumer Protection and Intellectual Property Law written by Mor Bakhoum and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-02 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the legal approach to personal data taken by different fields of law. An increasing number of business models in the digital economy rely on personal data as a key input. In exchange for sharing their data, online users benefit from personalized and innovative services. But companies’ collection and use of personal data raise questions about privacy and fundamental rights. Moreover, given the substantial commercial and strategic value of personal data, their accumulation, control and use may raise competition concerns and negatively affect consumers. To establish a legal framework that ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data while at the same time providing an open and level playing field for businesses to develop innovative data-based services is a challenging task.With this objective in mind and against the background of the uniform rules set by the EU General Data Protection Regulation, the contributions to this book examine the significance and legal treatment of personal data in competition law, consumer protection law, general civil law and intellectual property law. Instead of providing an isolated analysis of the different areas of law, the book focuses on both synergies and tensions between the different legal fields, exploring potential ways to develop an integrated legal approach to personal data.

Download or read book Data Protection in the Internet written by Dário Moura Vicente and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-01 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book identifies and explains the different national approaches to data protection – the legal regulation of the collection, storage, transmission and use of information concerning identified or identifiable individuals – and determines the extent to which they could be harmonised in the foreseeable future. In recent years, data protection has become a major concern in many countries, as well as at supranational and international levels. In fact, the emergence of computing technologies that allow lower-cost processing of increasing amounts of information, associated with the advent and exponential use of the Internet and other communication networks and the widespread liberalization of the trans-border flow of information have enabled the large-scale collection and processing of personal data, not only for scientific or commercial uses, but also for political uses. A growing number of governmental and private organizations now possess and use data processing in order to determine, predict and influence individual behavior in all fields of human activity. This inevitably entails new risks, from the perspective of individual privacy, but also other fundamental rights, such as the right not to be discriminated against, fair competition between commercial enterprises and the proper functioning of democratic institutions. These phenomena have not been ignored from a legal point of view: at the national, supranational and international levels, an increasing number of regulatory instruments – including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation applicable as of 25 May 2018 – have been adopted with the purpose of preventing personal data misuse. Nevertheless, distinct national approaches still prevail in this domain, notably those that separate the comprehensive and detailed protective rules adopted in Europe since the 1995 Directive on the processing of personal data from the more fragmented and liberal attitude of American courts and legislators in this respect. In a globalized world, in which personal data can instantly circulate and be used simultaneously in communications networks that are ubiquitous by nature, these different national and regional approaches are a major source of legal conflict.

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.

It covers the emergence of profiling technologies, on-line behavioral tracking, and the impact of profiling on fundamental rights and values. Next, the book looks at preventing privacy risks and harms through impact assessments. It contains discussions on the tools and methodologies for impact assessments as well as case studies. The book then goes on to cover the purported trade-off between privacy and security, ways to support privacy and data protection, and the controversial right to be forgotten, which offers individuals a means to oppose the often persistent digital memory of the web. Written during the process of the fundamental revision of the current EU data protection law by the Data Protection Package proposed by the European Commission, this interdisciplinary book presents both daring and prospective approaches. It will serve as an insightful resource for readers with an interest in privacy and data protection.
