ePrivacy Regulation: the current Perspective

Foto di Pavan Trikutam Previous Next     / [pdf] View the PDF file here. The subject is pretty challenging indeed, considering that the EU proposal on the e-Privacy regulation is under the Institutions’ attention and not defined yet.

Whatsapp? No thanks, I prefer to have control over my data

It’s been months since I deleted my account from Whatsapp. However, other users continue to see my active profile and write to me. Among these, unaware of my decisions, some were concerned about not receiving a response, while others were probably angry. The numerous messages and open tickets to support and even the DPO were no use because nothing has changed. The FAQ states, “It may take up to 90 days from the beginning of the deletion process to delete your WhatsApp information.”. I am considering other initiatives, indeed. All this shows how a Whatsapp user has no control over their personal data. ...

The aim is to raise digital users’ awareness of issues relating to the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and privacy. Human beings communicate daily and increasingly (or perhaps almost exclusively) through the use of apps that exploit the Internet: some are exceptionally well-known and popular among users, such as Whatsapp, Signal, Telegram, Messenger, Skype, etc. ...

Consciously looking at messaging apps: when users want broad freedom and full control over their data

In one of our previous contributions, we stated that the human being needs to communicate (the first axiom of the Palo Alto School)[1] , and the advantage offered by the Internet of interacting with other people even at a distance has been successful. Moreover, numerous popular and scientific contributions described the social evolution (or involution, depending on the point of view), and it is undoubted understandable that it may have legal and juridical repercussions. ...

The Court of Justice invalidates adequacy Decision 2016/1250 - Data Protection Shield

Today we read the press release about the decision of the Court of Justice on the Case C-311/18 by which it has been invalided the Decision 2016/1250 on the adequacy of the protection provided by the EU-US Data Protection Shield. That decision is complex, and it needs to be examined carefully, point by point. Transfers of personal data to third countries or international organisations are a very crucial topic that has to be addressed soon by the European Commission both for a new adequacy decision and anyway for new standard contractual clauses. ...
