Following on the heels of the GDPR - and almost slipping under the radar - the European Parliament today approves proposal for an EU PNR Directive. | Valerie Surgenor The "Green Peril": Creating the Islamic Fundamentalist Threat by Leon T. Hadar Leon T. Hadar, a former bureau chief for the Jerusalem Post, is an adjunct scholar of the Cato Institute. Executive Summary Now that the Cold War is becoming a memory, America's foreign policy establishment has begun searching for new enemies. George Will even suggested that the 1,000-year battle between Christendom and Islam might be breaking out once more when he asked, "Could it be that 20 years from now we will be saying, not that they're at the gates of Vienna again, but that, in fact, the birth of Mohammed is at least as important as the birth of Christ, that Islamic vitality could be one of the big stories of the next generations?" © 1992 The Cato InstitutePlease send comments to webmaster

Which data protection and consumer law applies to Amazon? Comments on the VKI v Amazon judgment Lorna Woods, Professor of Internet Law, University of Essex The recent CJEU judgment in VKI v Amazon concerns jurisdiction both in the context of conflict of laws (applicable consumer laws) and the Data Protection Directive. Essentially, the Court of Justice had to decide which Member State’s data protection law should apply where goods are sold across national borders but within the EU. In this, it forms part of a stream of case law (both decided and pending), dealing with the powers of states (and their institutions) to protect those within their boundaries notwithstanding the digital internal market. Facts The case concerned Amazon, a well-known large company engaged in on-line selling. Questions Referred Judgment The ECJ dealt with the questions on Rome I and II together. Article 4(3) of the Rome II Regulation states that the law of another country applies if it is clear that the tort is manifestly more closely connected with it.

Doctoraatsverdediging Vrijwel elke organisatie ter wereld verzamelt persoonsgegevens. Dagelijks worden er enorme hoeveelheden persoonsggevens bijgehouden met het oog op het leveren van diensten, personeelsbeheer, marketing, fraudedetectie, etc. De Europese wetgeving voorziet een aantal voorwaarden en verplichtingen om ervoor te zorgen dat de persoonlijke levenssfeer van het individu beschermd blijft wanneer zijn of haar persoonsgegevens worden verwerkt. De wetgeving maakt daarbij een onderscheid naargelang de hoedanigheid van de partij die bij de verwerking van persoonsgegevens betrokken is. Het belangrijkste onderscheid is het onderscheid tussen de “verantwoordelijke voor de verwerking” en de “verwerker”. Samen vormen deze begrippen de verdeelsleutel waarmee verantwoordelijkheid en aansprakelijkheid wordt toegewezen. Practically every organisation in the world collects personal data.
privacycalendar Global Privacy and Security Experts Launch the International Council on Global Privacy and Security, by Design New organization created to educate governments and businesses on how to develop policies and technologies where privacy, public safety and Big Data work together for positive-sum, win-win outcomes TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct. 17, 2016) - Today, Ann Cavoukian - three-term Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, Executive Director of the Ryerson Privacy & Big Data Institute and creator of Privacy by Design - announced the creation of the International Council on Global Privacy and Security, by Design.

LAST WEEK IN PRIVACY & DATA PROTECTION – Medium 15th Weekly Newsletter -> 15–21 October 2016 CJEU Defines Personal Data in the “Breyer” Case Ruling The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued its judgement in the Case C‑582/14 also known as the “Breyer” case, where the Court was deciding on whether a dynamic IP address could be personal data. The case was referred to the CJEU by the German Courts and the core of the dispute was the fact that the public websites of many German federal institutions store information on all access operations in log files, which is not necessarily deleted after the access is terminated. The purpose of storage of such log files is to prevent cyber-attacks. The most important preliminary questions answered by the CJEU was whether a dynamic Internet Protocol address (IP address) can be deemed personal data.
