Study Notes

The presentation covers data protection, privacy, and the history of data protection legislation.
The key topic is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The presentation discusses the 2018 EU regulation on data protection and privacy.
The GDPR defines how organizations process personal data.

Sneaky Responses

Terms of service and terms of use are legal agreements between a service provider and a user.
These agreements are legally binding, and companies can refuse to provide service if these terms are not met.
The presentation gives examples like data sharing, subscription services and more.

Data Protection Act 1984

The Act regulates automatically processed information relating to individuals and provides services regarding this information.
It focuses on personal data concerning identifiable living individuals.
The Act defines data subjects (individuals whose data is processed), data users (who process the data), and computer bureaux (who only process data).
The Data Protection Registrar was responsible for promoting data protection and enforcing the Act.

Back in the 60s and 70s

Information collection and distribution expanded from academic and military settings to commercial activities in the 1960s.
The 1970s witnessed governmental centralization of information about individuals' private affairs.
The Younger Report (1972) identified three primary concerns related to computer use:
- Compiling personal profiles on single databases.
- Data matching across multiple databases.
- Unauthorized access to personal information.
Sweden banned the export of Swedish personal data to the UK in 1974 due to the UK not having proper data regulation, classifying it as a "data haven".

Privacy

Privacy encompasses three key aspects: freedom from intrusion, control over one's personal information, and freedom from surveillance.
Privacy can be compromised when individuals share information with strangers in order to conduct transactions.

Previously

Information collection and distribution became increasingly commercial.
The UK was seen as a "data haven."
The Data Protection Act 1984 was introduced. Companies had started using unfair or dishonest data collection techniques before the act.

Privacy Rights of Individuals

Data subjects (individuals) have various rights under GDPR.
- The right to be informed, access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and object.
The presentation also includes information about rights like the right to be forgotten. This includes the removal of personal information from services under specific circumstances, like when data is no longer needed, or consent is withdrawn, or information is unlawfully collected.
The internet never forgets.
