The present proliferation of portable smart devices and stationary home assistant systems changes the ways in which people share information with each other. Such devices regularly have permission to switch on at any time and can collect a wide range of data in their environment. In consequence, the social challenge of personal data protection is growing and necessitates a better understanding of privacy as an interdependent phenomenon. Interview by Mahshid Sotoudeh (ITA-ÖAW).

The police process huge amounts of personal data without which they would not be able to carry out their basic tasks. The data processed by the police have a very different nature and scope. Data processing in such large quantities and in such a wide range is associated with great responsibility for its safety. Maintaining a high level of security becomes a challenge when, at the same time, it is necessary to take care of the rights of data subjects. The article contains an overview of administrative decisions issued by the Inspector General for Personal Data Protection (currently: the President of the Personal Data Protection Offi ce) relating to police activities. The issues of the implementation of the rights of data subjects are discussed in three areas, i.e.: sharing information from police resources, deleting data from the National Police Information System, and verifi cation of identity documents.

The purpose of this study is to examine some aspects of personal data protection in the social network, a comparative analysis of the protection of personal data in the social network under Ukrainian and European legislation, namely the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union. The methods used in this work are: dialectical, comparative-legal, formal-logical, analysis and dogmatic interpretation. Each of these methods was used in the study to understand and qualitatively explain to the audience categories the individual aspects of personal data protection on the social network. This article reveals the notion of: personal data in the social network, the features of their collection, storage and protection in accordance with European legislation and the development of proposals aimed at improving these processes in Ukraine. The research also addresses the following issues: Features of managing consent to the processing of personal data that have already been obtained; who can act as an "operator" under EU law and what actions he can take; who can act as "controller" and what functions it performs. The article concludes that there is an urgent need to streamline Ukrainian domestic legislation in line with EU law, which should result in a new law on personal data protection that complies with GDPR norms. As a result, a new law on personal data protection may soon emerge in Ukraine, replacing the outdated Law of Ukraine “On Personal Data Protection” of 01.06.2010, which is a “mirror” of the repealed Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.

A mathematical model has been developed and a study of the model of personal data protection from network clustering coefficient and data transfer intensity in social networks has been carried out. Dependencies of protection of the system from the size of the system (and from the amount of personal data); information security threats from the network clustering factor. A system of linear equations is obtained, which consists of the equation: rate of change of information flow from social network security and coefficients that reflect the impact of security measures, amount of personal data, leakage rate, change of information protection from network clustering factor, its size, personal data protection. As a result of solving the system of differential equations, mathematical and graphical dependences of the indicator of personal data protection in the social network from different components are obtained. Considering three options for solving the equation near the steady state of the system, we can conclude that, based on the conditions of the ratio of dissipation and natural frequency, the attenuation of the latter to a certain value is carried out periodically, with decaying amplitude, or by exponentially decaying law. A more visual analysis of the system behavior is performed, moving from the differential form of equations to the discrete one and modeling some interval of the system existence. Mathematical and graphical dependences of the system natural frequency, oscillation period, attenuation coefficient are presented. Simulation modeling for values with deviation from the stationary position of the system is carried out. As a result of simulation, it is proved that the social network protection system is nonlinear.

The doctrinal discussion on personal data protection regulated by the EU regulation, i.e. the GDPR, appears to re-create a vibrant and never-ending debate on the private law nature of the employer who does not implement the principle of freedom of contract when concluding a contract of employment. Because it is simply an entity pursuing public interests. The social labour inspector is a prototype of data protection officer in the field of labour law. As a matter of fact, he is also executing this “dispersed” public authority in labour law.

Abstract The objective of this paper is to present the limits of using personal data of the social assistance beneficiaries. Therefore, it will analyse issues concerning such terms as personal data, the essence of its protection, the essence of the limit in personal data use, acceptability and rules of personal data pro- cessing on the grounds of both general and specific legal solutions included in the Act on Social Assistance. It is important to emphasise that the limits of using personal data of the persons benefitting from social security are determined by means of legal solutions referring to personal data protection. The basic regulation in this question is APDP of 29 August 1997, and specific solutions may be found foremost in Article 100 ASA of 12 March 2004, which implies that in the proceedings on social assistance benefits it is important to pursue primarily the good of social assistance beneficiaries, as well as protection of their personal rights. In particular, the names of social assistance beneficiaries and the type and range of the benefit granted must not be published. On the other hand, to a degree necessary for granting and allotting social assistance benefits, it is allowed to process personal data of applicants for and users of these benefits referring to: ethnic origins, state of health, bad habits, convictions, statements of penalties, as well as other statements issued in judicial or administrative proceedings. The existence of exceptions which allow making beneficiaries’ personal data avail- able is justified. Every acceptance of revealing social assistance beneficiaries’ personal data is subject to many provisions of universally binding law, due to which beneficiaries may protect their rights and good name.

Abstract In the review below the author presents a general overview of the selected contemporary legal issues related to the present growth of the aviation industry and the development of aviation technologies. The review is focused on the questions at the intersection of aviation law and personal data protection law. Massive processing of passenger data (Passenger Name Record, PNR) in IT systems is a daily activity for the contemporary aviation industry. Simultaneously, since the mid- 1990s we can observe the rapid growth of personal data protection law as a very new branch of the law. The importance of this new branch of the law for the aviation industry is however still questionable and unclear. This article includes the summary of the author’s own research conducted between 2011 and 2017, in particular his audits in LOT Polish Airlines (June 2011-April 2013) and Lublin Airport (July - September 2013) and the author’s analyses of public information shared by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), International Air Transport Association (IATA), Association of European Airlines (AEA), Civil Aviation Authority (ULC) and (GIODO). The purpose of the author’s research was to determine the applicability of the implementation of technical and organizational measures established by personal data protection law in aviation industry entities.

The subject of this research is the problems emerging in the process of establishment and development of the Institution of personal data protection in the Russian Federation. Special attention is turned to the comparison of Soviet and Western models of protection of private life and personal data. The authors used interdisciplinary approach, as comprehensive and coherent understanding of socio-legal institution of personal data protection in the Russian Federation is only possible in inseparable connection with examination of peculiarities of the key historical stages in legal regulation of private life of the citizen. After dissolution of the Soviet political and legal system, the primary task of Russian law consisted in development and legal formalization of the institution of protection of human and civil rights and freedoms, first and foremost by means of restricting invasion of privacy by the state and enjoyment of personal freedom. It is concluded that the peculiarities of development of the new Russian political and legal model significantly impacted the formation of the institution of personal data protection in the Russian Federation. The authors believe that the Russian legislator and competent government branches are not always capable to manage the entire information flow of personal data; therefore, one of the priority tasks in modern Russian society is the permanent analysis and constant monitoring of the development of information technologies.
