Privacy as Virtue discusses whether a rights-based approach to
privacy regulation still suffices to address the challenges
triggered by new data processing techniques such as Big Data and
mass surveillance. A rights-based approach generally grants
subjective rights to individuals to protect their personal
interests. However, large-scale data processing techniques often
transcend the individual and their interests. Virtue ethics is used
to reflect on this problem and open up new ways of thinking. A
virtuous agent not only respects the rights and interests of
others, but also has a broader duty to act in the most careful,
just and temperate way. This applies to citizens, to companies such
as Apple, Google and Facebook and to governmental organizations
that are involved with large scale data processing alike. The
author develops a three-layered model for privacy regulation in the
Big Data era. The first layer consists of minimum obligations that
are independent of individual interests and rights. Virtuous agents
have to respect the procedural pre-conditions for the exercise of
power. The second layer echoes the current paradigm, the respect
for individual rights and interests. While the third layer is the
obligation of aspiration: a virtuous agent designs the data process
in such a way that human flourishing, equality and individual
freedom are promoted.
