Europe Leads In Global Privacy

by Alessandro Mantelero

Businesses are moving toward personalization, which means they’ll increasingly collect personal data to get a better idea of what their customers want and need. In the age of the customer, defined by Forrester as a 20-year business cycle when successful enterprises will reinvent themselves as digital businesses in order to serve their increasingly powerful customers, protecting customer data is a critical aspect of fostering trust and building long-lasting relationships [...]. http://www.forbes.com/sites/forrester/2015/10/15/forrester-dataprivacy-heat… -- Prof. Avv.

Re: [nexa] R: Decisione Corte di giustizia europea invalida Safe Harbor

by Alberto Cammozzo

Model clauses no substitute for 'safe harbour' data transfers to the US, says German watchdog Businesses relying on European Commission-approved model contract clauses to transfer personal data from the EU to the US should terminate or suspend those arrangements, a German data protection watchdog has said. [...] The Schleswig-Holstein authority said that when applying the findings of the CJEU's judgment to data transfers made on the basis of model clauses, such transfers are "no longer permitted". It said there needs to be "comprehensive change" to US law to ensure that there is adequate data protection provided for when personal data is transferred from the EU to the US. [...] Munich-based data protection law expert Stephan Appt of Pinsent Masons said Germany's data protection authorities met to discuss the CJEU's ruling last week with a view to reaching a consistent view on the issue of EU-US data transfers ahead of the Working Party meeting. "The fact that the Schleswig DPA has now issued this paper either means that this reflects – at least to some extent – the joint position of all German DPAs or that it is just keen on getting in the headlines first with an extreme position," Appt said. "The position paper also seems to be extreme in the sense that the Schleswig DPA opines that data subjects are actually not in a position to declare valid consent in data transfers to countries where there is a risk of mass surveillance by intelligence agencies, as this would be contrary to the fundamental personality right enjoyed by people in Germany which, the DPA claims, an individual cannot waive, as a matter of legal principle." <http://www.out-law.com/en/articles/2015/october/model-clauses-no-substitute…> On 14/10/2015 12:05, Guido Noto La Diega wrote: > Further to its initial public statement regarding the ECJ Safe Harbor judgement, the Austrian DPA has released an update, clarifying its position that, for the time being, the Austrian DPA will accept EU Model Clauses or Binding Corporate Rules as basis for transfers of personal data to the USA. Wheras the use of both EU Model Clauses or Binding Corporate Rules requires an approval of the DPA for the specific case of data transfer, there is at least clarity now that EU Model Clauses and Binding Corporate Rules are accepted as legal basis for obtaining approval in Austria. > http://www.technologyslegaledge.com/2015/10/13/austria-update-by-the-dpa-re… > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On 11/ott/2015, at 15:57, Alessandro Mantelero <alessandro.mantelero(a)polito.it> wrote: >> >> Marco, il mio era un discorso generale sull'art. 25 e sul permanere (a mio parere) della sua rilevanza nel sistema di data protection.

Losing your rights in a legal cloud: Data Fiduciaries a (temporary) solution ?

by Francesco Nachira

La stragrande maggioranza dei cittadini, attirati dai vantaggi nell'affidare la gestione dei loro dati e la sincronizzazione dei fra i loro device, pone i propri dati personali nei cloud. Spesso non hanno le conoscenze per riflettere sulle implicazioni sulla loro privacy, nè che loro stessi diventano una merce, merce che permette a questi oligopoli di rafforzare la loro egemonia sul mercato. Il cittadino medio non ha gli strumenti per opporsi e non ha alcuna alternativa. L'Articolo "Losing your rights in a legal cloud" pubblicato *on Science Node: **https://sciencenode.org/feature/losing-your-rights-in-a-legal-cloud.php***(copiato anche in fondo alla mail), di Kristina Irion, the Marie Curie fellow at the Institute for Information Law (IViR) <http://www.ivir.nl> at the University of Amsterdam <http://www.uva.nl/en/home>, riassume l'attuale deriva e ripropone il concetto di "Data fiduciaries". *Che ne pensate dei Data fiduciaries ?

La situazione diventa ancora più drammatica considerando che siti web e gestori del cloud per le loro analisi, si affidano quasi esclusivamente agli strumenti di analisi di Google+ . Ad esempio il sito ufficiale del Consiglio Europeo per le sue analisi si affida a Google Analytics, usa i suoi cookie così arriviamo al paradosso che : /"The information generated by the cookies about your use of this web site - standard Internet log information (including your lP address) and visitor behaviour information in an anonymous form - will be transmitted to and stored by Google including on servers in the United States.

Your identity is virtually represented in these personal records, and is what remains and forms your legacy once you're gone. Global cloud traffic will exceed _6.5 zettabytes (541 exabytes per month)_ <http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Zettabyte> by 2018, with 53% of internet users (2 billion people) opting for cloud-based storage, according to _a Cisco estimate_ <http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/collateral/service-provider/global-c…>. No longer housed in your desk or on your mantel, these personal effects are on a server many miles away — abstracted and alienated from their source. The difficulty with cloud computing – and what makes it distinct from other communication intermediaries (say, the post office or phone company) – is that “there is no comparable legal paradigm that protects individuals’ personal records when at rest under the control of a third party,” Irion says. The private individual and the CSP share control over these digital artifacts. Moreover, most terms of service (TOS) favor the CSP's interests and “reinforce the client’s dependency on the service provider and thus only entrench the loss of control over her data,” Irion says. A cloud service provider can effect immediate change to the standard terms of service, in many cases without notice. They have unfettered permission to use your data, including sharing it with another party. In an article published September in /_International Journal of Law and Information Technology_/ <http://ijlit.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2015/09/25/ijlit.eav015.short…>, Irion worries that, absent a strong legal protection, consumers run the risk of exploitation as data is increasingly commodified. As CSPs move to make money from advertising, they’ll have little obstacle to pilfering your information (_as Google has, for instance_ <http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/apr/15/gmail-scans-all-emails-ne…>) in order to find more effective methods of marketing to you. Given the consumer’s lack of negotiation power, Irion believes the solution may be a data _fiduciary_ <http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Fiduciary>, a concept that's gaining traction _among legal scholars lately_ <http://balkin.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/information-fiduciaries-in-digital-age…>. Much like a trust fund or lending institution, a data fiduciary would take care of consumer information, and respect the concepts of sovereignty and privacy we’ve come to expect in our modern democracies.

Lawyers, doctors, and accountants already function in a similar capacity — wielding our personal information with our best interests placed first. *First Databank & Trust. *Terms of service agreements typically do not benefit the end users of cloud computing. Kristina Irion points a way to renewed trust: Data fiduciaries. With a data fiduciary acting in our interest, we could rest easy knowing our personal effects, now digitized and stored elsewhere, remain our own property. If data fiduciaries were installed, then TOS agreements would reflect the rights consumers expect: CSPs, if structured as a data fiduciary, would be limited in what information they could collect, use, and sell. We would regain our confidence that our data is protected, yet fluid enough to enable the modern information marketplace. We could expect our data to remain in our sole possession, and not be handed over to a third party without a warrant. But until a data fiduciary legal framework is created, we yield control when agreeing to the TOS. Want to delete the data you’ve stashed in the cloud? That’s up to the CSP. Want to decide where your data resides? Forget about it — that’s up to the CSP. What happens to your data if you declare bankruptcy and your service relationship terminates? Do you even know how many copies there are? You probably don’t, since that’s the purview of the service provider. So in what sense do you control your own data?
