Privacy and data protection are recognized as fundamental human
rights. Recent developments, however, indicate that security issues
are used to undermine these fundamental rights. As new technologies
effectively facilitate collection, storage, processing and
combination of personal data government agencies take advantage for
their own purposes. Increasingly, and for other reasons, the
business sector threatens the privacy of citizens as well. The
contributions to this book explore the different aspects of the
relationship between technology and privacy. The emergence of new
technologies threaten increasingly privacy and/or data protection;
however, little is known about the potential of these technologies
that call for innovative and prospective analysis, or even new
conceptual frameworks. Technology and privacy are two intertwined
notions that must be jointly analyzed and faced. Technology is a
social practice that embodies the capacity of societies to
transform themselves by creating the possibility to generate and
manipulate not only physical objects, but also symbols, cultural
forms and social relations. In turn, privacy describes a vital and
complex aspect of these social relations. Thus technology
influences people's understanding of privacy, and people's
understanding of privacy is a key factor in defining the direction
of technological development. This book was originally published as
a special issue of Innovation: The European Journal of Social
Science Research.
