On 25 January 2012, the European Commission presented its long
awaited new "Data protection package". With this proposal for a
drastic revision of the data protection framework in Europe, it is
fair to say that we are witnessing a rebirth of European data
protection, and perhaps, its passage from an impulsive youth to a
more mature state. Technology advances rapidly and mobile devices
are significantly changing the landscape. Increasingly, we carry
powerful, connected, devices, whose location and activities can be
monitored by various stakeholders. Very powerful social network
sites emerged in the first half of last decade, processing personal
data of many millions of users. Updating the regulatory network was
imminent and the presentation of the new package will initiate a
period of intense debate in which the proposals will be thoroughly
commented upon and criticized, and numerous amendments will
undoubtedly be proposed. This volume brings together some 19
chapters offering conceptual analyses, highlighting issues,
proposing solutions, and discussing practices regarding privacy and
data protection. In the first part of the book, conceptual analyses
of concepts such as privacy and anonymity are provided. The second
section focuses on the contrasted positions of digital natives and
ageing users in the information society. The third section provides
four chapters on privacy by design, including discussions on
roadmapping and concrete techniques. The fourth section is devoted
to surveillance and profiling, with illustrations from the domain
of smart metering, self-surveillance and the benefits and risks of
profiling. The book concludes with case studies pertaining to
communicating privacy in organisations, the fate of a data
protection supervisor in one of the EU member states and data
protection in social network sites and online media. This volume
