Although Europe has a significant legal data protection framework,
built up around EU Directive 95/46/EC and the Charter of
Fundamental Rights, the question of whether data protection and its
legal framework are 'in good health' is increasingly being posed.
Advanced technologies raise fundamental issues regarding key
concepts of data protection. Falling storage prices, increasing
chips performance, the fact that technology is becoming
increasingly embedded and ubiquitous, the convergence of
technologies and other technological developments are broadening
the scope and possibilities of applications rapidly. Society
however, is also changing, affecting the privacy and data
protection landscape. The 'demand' for free services, security,
convenience, governance, etc, changes the mindsets of all the
stakeholders involved. Privacy is being proclaimed dead or at least
worthy of dying by the captains of industry; governments and policy
makers are having to manoeuvre between competing and incompatible
aims; and citizens and customers are considered to be indifferent.
In the year in which the plans for the revision of the Data
Protection Directive will be revealed, the current volume brings
together a number of chapters highlighting issues, describing and
discussing practices, and offering conceptual analysis of core
concepts within the domain of privacy and data protection. The
book's first part focuses on surveillance, profiling and
prediction; the second on regulation, enforcement, and security;
and the third on some of the fundamental concepts in the area of
privacy and data protection. Reading the various chapters it
appears that the 'patient' needs to be cured of quite some weak
spots, illnesses and malformations. European data protection is at
a turning point and the new challenges are not only accentuating
the existing flaws and the anticipated difficulties, but also, more
positively, the merits and the need for strong and accurate data
protection practices and rules in Europe, and elsewhere.
