Privacy And Data Protection

This book features peer reviewed contributions from across the disciplines on themes relating to protection of data and to privacy protection. The authors explore fundamental and legal questions, investigate case studies and consider concepts and tools such as privacy by design, the risks of surveillance and fostering trust. Readers may trace both technological and legal evolution as chapters examine current developments in ICT such as cloud computing and the Internet of Things. Written during the process of the fundamental revision of revision of EU data protection law (the 1995 Data Protection Directive), this volume is highly topical. Since the European Parliament has adopted the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation 2016/679), which will apply from 25 May 2018, there are many details to be sorted out. This volume identifies and exemplifies key, contemporary issues. From fundamental rights and offline alternatives, through transparency requirements to health data breaches, the reader is provided with a rich and detailed picture, including some daring approaches to privacy and data protection. The book will inform and inspire all stakeholders. Researchers with an interest in the philosophy of law and philosophy of technology, in computers and society, and in European and International law will all find something of value in this stimulating and engaging work.

This book incorporates the "functional guidance" demanded by the real world legal practice without being " over technical." This book bridges the gap between lawyers and technologists using a threefold approach combining technology, law and business practices. The author intends on first laying the overall legal and technical foundation, then discussing the processes through which data are collected, stored and used. Each chapter begins with an explanation of the operation being addressed (i.e. e-mail, social networking etc.) and how personal information is obtained and used, followed by key statutes, regulations and cases with links to full text. Each chapter will conclude with discussion of best practices, policies and methods that are used to comply with the law. A Teacher's Manual is also available to professors.

Through critical analysis of case law in European and national courts, this book reveals the significant role courts play in the protection of privacy and personal data within the new technological environment. It addresses the pressing question from a public who are increasingly aware of their privacy rights in a world of continual technological advances – namely, what can I do if my data privacy rights are breached?

This volume brings together papers that offer methodologies, conceptual analyses, highlight issues, propose solutions, and discuss practices regarding privacy and data protection. It is one of the results of the eight annual International Conference on Computers, Privacy, and Data Protection, CPDP 2015, held in Brussels in January 2015. The book explores core concepts, rights and values in (upcoming) data protection regulation and their (in)adequacy in view of developments such as Big and Open Data, including the right to be forgotten, metadata, and anonymity. It discusses privacy promoting methods and tools such as a formal systems modeling methodology, privacy by design in various forms (robotics, anonymous payment), the opportunities and burdens of privacy self management, the differentiating role privacy can play in innovation. The book also discusses EU policies with respect to Big and Open Data and provides advice to policy makers regarding these topics. Also attention is being paid to regulation and its effects, for instance in case of the so-called ‘EU-cookie law’ and groundbreaking cases, such as Europe v. Facebook. This interdisciplinary book was written during what may turn out to be the final stages of the process of the fundamental revision of the current EU data protection law by the Data Protection Package proposed by the European Commission. It discusses open issues and daring and prospective approaches. It will serve as an insightful resource for readers with an interest in privacy and data protection.

This book, written by experts from PAHO, the European Commission, and the East Caroline University School of Medicine, review the fundamental concepts related to the technical and legal aspects of data protection and summarize the scope and degree of impl

This book discusses all critical privacy and data protection aspects of biometric systems from a legal perspective. It contains a systematic and complete analysis of the many issues raised by these systems based on examples worldwide and provides several recommendations for a transnational regulatory framework. An appropriate legal framework is in most countries not yet in place. Biometric systems use facial images, fingerprints, iris and/or voice in an automated way to identify or to verify (identity) claims of persons. The treatise which has an interdisciplinary approach starts with explaining the functioning of biometric systems in general terms for non-specialists. It continues with a description of the legal nature of biometric data and makes a comparison with DNA and biological material and the regulation thereof. After describing the risks, the work further reviews the opinions of data protection authorities in relation to biometric systems and current and future (EU) law. A detailed legal comparative analysis is made of the situation in Belgium, France and the Netherlands. The author concludes with an evaluation of the proportionality principle and the application of data protection law to biometric data processing operations, mainly in the private sector. Pleading for more safeguards in legislation, the author makes several suggestions for a regulatory framework aiming at reducing the risks of biometric systems. They include limitations to the collection and storage of biometric data as well as technical measures, which could influence the proportionality of the processing. The text is supported by several figures and tables providing a summary of particular points of the discussion. The book also uses the 2012 biometric vocabulary adopted by ISO and contains an extensive bibliography and literature sources.

"Canada has distinguished itself as a pioneer in the oversight of privacy and data protection through a co-regulatory approach that balances industry initiative with government protection of consumer preferences and citizen concerns. Incorporating key elements of the European and American approaches, Canada is the first North American country to enact comprehensive data protection regulation that sets appropriate standards for privacy practices across the country. In recognition of Canada's unique position, the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) has created the first credentialing program in Canadian privacy. The Certified Information Privacy Professional/Canada (CIPP/C) is the first certification to be designed by Canadian privacy officers for the benefit of information management professionals who work in the Canadian private sector. Canadian Privacy: Data Protection Law and Policy for the Practitioner is the official reference for the CIPP/C program. It brings into focus all of the notable Canadian data protection laws and standards including: The Privacy Act of Canada; The Personal Information and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA"); The Personal Information Protection Acts of Alberta and British Columbia (the "PIPAs"); The Personal Health Information Protection Act of Ontario ("PHIPA"); The private sector Act of Québec ("Loi sur la protection des rensiegnments personeels dans le secrteur privé [sic]"); the Generally Acceptable Privacy Principles ("GAPP"). Canadian Privacy is a valuable reference for Canadian corporate privacy officers as well as any professional who is responsible for the information risk management, information security, information auditing or legal compliance needs of clients or organizations based in Canada."--P.
