This progressive book critically analyses the current state of data
protection enforcement and proposes a new auditable framework of
practical guidelines to contribute to a more sustainable
data-driven future. In outlining the debates relating to current
data protection structures, Paolo Balboni and Kate Francis argue
that legislation alone cannot sufficiently protect individuals’
fundamental rights and freedoms, and instead consider the pressing
need for a more ethical approach to data protection.
This book is the first comprehensive study on the legal aspects of
trustmarks: labels or visual representations indicating that a
product, process, or service conforms to specific quality
characteristics. Trustmark Organisations (TMOs) are independent
parties which provide e-merchants with such trustmarks. Security,
privacy, and business practice are three areas in which trustmarks
play an important role. TMOs will issue a trustmark to e-merchants
only if they have demonstrated that they conform to the policy of
TMOs regarding security and/or privacy and/or business practice.
E-merchants hope that, by displaying the trustmark on their
websites, e-consumers will trust their certified practice and be
more likely to divulge their personal data and transact with them.
Past research has focused on the economic aspects of trustmarks.
However, there are no legal studies to be found on the matter. This
book aims to fill that gap. It describes the pros and cons of
trustmarks for e-economy, e-society and e-policy, assesses TMOs'
practice, and focuses on TMOs' liability. The book is valuable
reading for academics and practitioners in the IT and ICT field and
for all those involved in e-commerce both at a European and global
level. Dr Paolo Balboni is currently an Associate at Baker &
McKenzie, IT/Communications and Intellectual Property Department,
in the Milan office in Italy. He is also a Research Associate at
Tilburg University, both at the Tilburg Institute for Law
Technology, and Society TILT and at the Tilburg Institute for
Interdisciplinary Studies and Conflict Resolution Systems TISCO.
