Two Necessary Approaches to a Privacy-Friendly 2033 journal article

Alexander Dix

European Data Protection Law Review, Volume 9 (2023), Issue 3, Page 305 - 310

Niels Bohr, the Danish Nobel prize winner, is known to have said ‘Prediction is very difficult, especially if it’s about the future !’ It is therefore rather futile to try and predict the future of data and privacy protection. Instead this article puts forward two conditions (inter alia) which should be met to make sure that privacy and data protection have the same or an even better standing as at present. They are of a regulatory and a non-regulatory nature. On a regulatory level it is suggested that the responsibility for implementing existing legal rules should no longer be restricted to controllers. On a non-regulatory level the key importance of improving media literacy and raising public awareness as a condition for individual autonomy in the digital age is stressed. Keywords: artificial intelligence, informational self-determination, media literacy, privacy by design, product liability


Informational Self-Determination, Digital Health and New Features of Data Protection journal article open-access

Theo Hooghiemstra

European Data Protection Law Review, Volume 5 (2019), Issue 2, Page 160 - 174

Health data outside the medical context should be better protected against governments and companies. The advance of personalised health environments changes the meaning of informational self-determination in healthcare. Outside the medical context, there is an imbalance between people's ability to truly determine the usage of their health data and the data power of companies and governments. To create a proper balance, people need additional protection, for which I propose a coherent set of recommendations in my dissertation: patient confidentiality by law, prohibition of the trade in health data, a digital butler and the rest of the recommendations I mentioned.Keywords: Informational Self-Determination, Digital Health, Digital Buttler
