Resumen: Durante el uso de los contenidos y servicios digitales puestos a disposición del consu­midor por los distintos proveedores, los usuarios facilitan y crean gran cantidad de datos. El tratamiento legal del control sobre el destino de estos datos se bifurca en la actualidad en dos normas: por una parte, si se trata de datos personales, se aplicará el Reglamento (UE) General de Protección de Datos de 2016 (RGPD); por otra parte, respecto a contenidos generados por los usuarios que no sean datos personales, las reglas de la reciente Directiva (UE) 2019/770, de 20 de mayo de 2019 sobre contratos de suministro de contenidos y servicios digitales (DCSD) será de aplicación tras su transposición.Este ensayo analiza la intersección de las normas sobre protección de datos personales con las nor­mas sobre la defensa contractual del consumidor al tiempo de la extinción de este tipo de contratos por vía de resolución. Para ello compara los rasgos de los derechos de supresión, olvido y portabilidad del Reglamento con los nuevos derechos de impedir el uso de los datos y de recuperarlos establecidos en la Directiva y concluye críticamente acerca del escaso impacto que estos últimos pueden llegar a tener de­bido a su reducido ámbito de aplicación, las escasas facultades y las excesivas excepciones incorporadas finalmente en uno de los preceptos centrales de la Directiva 2019/770.Palabras clave: contenidos digitales, servicios digitales, resolución, contrato de suministro, datos personales, portabilidad, derecho al olvido, derecho de supresión, Directiva (UE) 2019/770, Reglamento General de Protección de Datos, conformidad, contenidos generados por los usuarios, consumidor.Abstract: During the use of digital content and services made available to the consumer by diffe­rent traders and platforms, users provide and create large amounts of data. The legal treatment of control over the destination of these data currently splits into two pieces of legislation: on the one hand, in the case of personal data, the 2016 (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will apply; on the other hand, in the case of user-generated content other than personal data, the rules of the recent Direc­tive (EU) 2019/770 of 20 May 2019 on contracts for the supply of digital content and services (DCSD) will apply after transposition in Member States.This paper analyses the intersection of the rules on personal data protection with the rules on the contractual protection of the consumer at the time of the extinction of this type of contract by means of termination. To this end, it compares the features of the rights to erasure, to be forgotten and to portabi­lity of the Regulation with the new rights to prevent further use of data and to retrieve them established in the Directive, and critically concludes that the latter may have little impact due to their reduced scope of application, the limited powers and the excessive exceptions finally incorporated in one of the central articles of Directive 2019/770.Keywords: digital contents, digital services, termination, contract of supply, personal data, porta­bility, right to erasure, right to be forgotten, Directive (EU) 2019/770, General Data Protection Regula­tion, conformity, user generated contents, consumer.

Resumen: El proceso emprendido a nivel europeo de revisión, modernización y adaptación de las reglas de protección de consumidores al entorno tecnológico ha puesto en contacto dos esferas nor­mativas de contrapuestos intereses: protección de datos personales y Derecho de consumo. El primer punto de inflexión de la compleja interacción entre ambos marcos regulatorios ha venido de la mano de la Directiva (UE) 2019/770 del Parlamento Europeo y del Consejo, de 20 de mayo de 2019, relativa a determinados aspectos relacionados con los contratos de suministro de contenido digital y servicios digitales, que ofrece los mismos remedios contractuales tanto a consumidores que abonan un precio como a quienes, a modo de contraprestación, facilitan sus datos personales. De las nuevas e interesantes perspectivas de análisis que ofrece la imbricación del derecho fundamental a la protección de datos en la esfera contractual, este trabajo centra su atención en la determinación de las bases de licitud, conforme al Reglamento General de Protección de Datos, de los tratamientos de datos personales derivados del ámbito de aplicación de la Directiva y su incidencia contractual.Palabras clave: Mercado Único Digital Europeo, interacción derecho de consumo-protección de datos personales, suministro de contenidos y servicios digitales, datos personales como contrapresta­ción, principio de licitud del tratamiento.Abstract: The European process of revision, modernization and adaptation of consumer protec­tion rules to the technological environment has brought into contact two regulatory spheres of opposite interests: personal data protection and consumer law. The first inflection point of the complex interac­tion between both regulatory frameworks has come from the hand of Directive (EU) 2019/770 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 20 May 2019, on certain aspects concerning contracts for the supply of digital content and digital services, which offers the same contractual remedies both to consumers who pay a price and to those who, by way of counter performance, provide their personal data. Of the new and interesting perspectives of analysis offered by the overlapping of the fundamental right to data protection in the contractual sphere, this paper focuses on the determination of the bases of lawfulness, according to the General Data Protection Regulation, of the processing of derived personal data of the scope of the Directive and its contractual impact.Keywords: EU Digital Single Market, interaction consumer law - data protection regulation, supply of digital content and digital services, counter-performance in the form of personal data, princi­ple of lawfulness of the personal data processing.

This Paper will address the interplay between the Directive on certain aspects concerning contracts for the supply of digital content and digital services and the current EU data protection framework, namely the General Data Protection Regulation. Albeit the Directive has the aim of protecting consumers, has it gone too far and made a crack in the data protection EU legal framework? Can personal data be treated as a commodity or is its scope as a counter-performance subject to a particular interpretation? I shall analyze these questions in light of the European Data Protection Supervisor’s Opinion 4/2017 and the European Data Protection Board’s Guidelines 2/2019.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) became binding law in the European Union Member States in 2018, as a step toward harmonizing personal data protection legislation in the European Union. The Regulation governs almost all types of personal data processing, hence, also, those pertaining to biomedical research. The purpose of this article is to highlight the main practical issues related to data and biological sample sharing that biomedical researchers face regularly, and to specify how these are addressed in the context of GDPR, after consulting with ethics/legal experts. We identify areas in which clarifications of the GDPR are needed, particularly those related to consent requirements by study participants. Amendments should target the following: (1) restricting exceptions based on national laws and increasing harmonization, (2) confirming the concept of broad consent, and (3) defining a roadmap for secondary use of data. These changes will be achieved by acknowledged learned societies in the field taking the lead in preparing a document giving guidance for the optimal interpretation of the GDPR, which will be finalized following a period of commenting by a broad multistakeholder audience. In parallel, promoting engagement and education of the public in the relevant issues (such as different consent types or residual risk for re-identification), on both local/national and international levels, is considered critical for advancement. We hope that this article will open this broad discussion involving all major stakeholders, toward optimizing the GDPR and allowing a harmonized transnational research approach.

The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies not only to the territory of the European Union, but also to all information systems containing data of EU’s citizens around the world. Misusing or carelessly handling personal data bring fines of up to 20 million euros or 4% of the annual turnover of the offending company. This article analyzes the main trends in the global implementation of the GDPR. Authors considered and analyzed results of personal data protection measures in nineteen regions: The USA, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Russia, South Korea and Thailand, as well as the European Union and a handful of other. This allowed identifying a direct pattern between the global tightening of EU’s citizens personal data protection and the fragmentation of the global mediasphere into separate national segments. As a result of the study, the authors conclude that GDPR has finally slowed down the globalization of the online mediasphere, playing a main role in its regional fragmentation.

Despite the differences between credit risk and insurance risk, in many countries large insurance companies include credit history amongst the information to be taken into account when assigning consumers to risk pools and deciding whether or not to offer them an auto or homeowner insurance policy, or to determine the premium that they should pay. In this study, I will try to establish some conclusions concerning the requirements and limits that the use of credit history data by insurers in the European Union should be subject to. In order to do this, I shall focus my attention primarily on Regulation (EU) 2016/679. This regulation, that came into force on 24 May 2018, not only forms the backbone of personal data protection in the EU, but is also set to become a model for regulation beyond the borders of the Union. This article will concentrate on two main aspects: the lawful basis for the processing of credit history data by insurers, and the rules that should apply to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling.Received: 30 December 2019Accepted: 07 February 2020Published online: 02 April 2020

With the growing awareness regarding the importance of personal data protection, many countries have established laws and regulations to ensure data privacy and are supervising managements to comply with them. Although various studies have suggested compliance methods of the general data protection regulation (GDPR) for personal data, no method exists that can ensure the reliability and integrity of the personal data processing request records of a data subject to enable its utilization as a GDPR compliance audit proof for an auditor. In this paper, we propose a delegation-based personal data processing request notarization framework for GDPR using a private blockchain. The proposed notarization framework allows the data subject to delegate requests to process of personal data; the framework makes the requests to the data controller, which performs the processing. The generated data processing request and processing result data are stored in the blockchain ledger and notarized via a trusted institution of the blockchain network. The Hypderledger Fabric implementation of the framework demonstrates the fulfillment of system requirements and feasibility of implementing a GDPR compliance audit for the processing of personal data. The analysis results with comparisons among the related works indicate that the proposed framework provides better reliability and feasibility for the GDPR audit of personal data processing request than extant methods.

The study is concerned with the issue of mutual relationship between the failure to comply with the laws on personal data protection and regulations relating to the protection of personal interests, including in particular the right to privacy. The article presents the views held by the Supreme Court with respect to the possibility of considering acts infringing upon the provisions of the Personal Data Protection Act of 1997 (after 24 May 2018) and of the General Data Protection Regulation (after 25 May 2018) as violation of personal interests, such as the right to privacy. The author shared the view of the case law stating that, if in specifc circumstances the processing of personal data violates the right to privacy, the party concerned may seek remedy on the grounds of Articles 23 and 24 of the Polish Civil Code. This position isalso relevant after the entry into force of the GDPR which, in a comprehensive and exhaustive manner, directly applicable in all Member States, regulates the issue of liability under civil law for infringements of the provisions of the Regulation, however, according to the position expressed in professional literature, it does not exclude the concurrence of claims and violation of the provisions on the protection of personal interests caused by a specifc event. In case of improper processing of personal data, the remedies available under domestic law on the protection of personal interests may be of particular importance outside the subject matter scope of the GDPR applicability.

Objective ”“ The article contrasts the problem of Big Data with the possibilities and limits of personal data protection. It is an original contribution to the academic discussion about the regulation of the Internet and the management of algorithms, focusing on Big Data. Methodology/approach/design ”“ The article provides bibliographic research on the opposition between Big Data and personal data protection, focusing on European Union law and French law. From the research is possible to identify regulatory alternatives do Big Data, whether legal-administrative nature or technological nature. Findings ”“ The article enlightens that, in addition to the traditional regulatory options, based on the law, there are technological options for regulating Big Data and algorithms. The article goes through an analysis of administrative performance, such as France’s CNIL (Commission nationale informatique et libertés, CNIL), to show that it has limits. Thus, the article concludes that there is a need to build a new type of regulation, one that is open to the inputs of regulated parties and civil society, in the form of new co-regulatory arrangements. Practical implications ”“ The article has an obvious application since the production of legal solutions for Internet regulation requires combining them with technological solutions. Brazil and several Latin American countries are experiencing this agenda, as they are building institutions and solutions to solve the dilemma of personal data protection. Originality/value ”“ The article clarifies several parts of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) and its applicability to Big Data. These new types of data processing impose several legal and regulatory challenges, whose solutions cannot be trivial and will rely on new theories and practices.

BACKGROUND Concerns about privacy and personal data protection resulted in reforms of the existing legislation in the European Union (EU). The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) aims to reform the existing directive on the topic of personal data protection of EU citizens with a strong emphasis on more control of the citizens over their data and in the establishment of rules for the processing of personal data. OpenEHR is a standard that embodies many principles of interoperable and secure software for electronic health records (EHRs) and has been advocated as the best approach for the development of hospital information systems. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to understand to what extent the openEHR standard can help in the compliance of EHR systems to the GDPR requirements. METHODS A list of requirements for an EHR to support GDPR compliance and also a list of the openEHR design principles were made. The requirements were categorized and compared with the principles by experts on openEHR and GDPR. RESULTS A total of 50 GDPR requirements and 8 openEHR design principles were identified. The openEHR principles conformed to 30% (15/50) of GDPR requirements. All the openEHR principles were aligned with GDPR requirements. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that the openEHR principles conform well to GDPR, underlining the common wisdom that truly realizing security and privacy requires it to be built in from the start. By using an openEHR-based EHR, the institutions are closer to becoming compliant with GDPR while safeguarding the medical data.

AbstractThis chapter considers the legal framework of data protection in Russia. The adoption of the Yarovaya laws, data localization requirement, and enactment of sovereign Runet regulations allowing for isolation of the internet in Russia paint a grim representation of state control over data flows in Russia. Upon closer examination, it can be seen that the development of data protection in Russia follows many of the steps taken at the EU level, although some EU measures violated fundamental rights and were invalidated. Specific rules in this sphere in Russia are similar to the European General Data Protection Regulation. This chapter shows the special role of Roskomnadzor in forming data protection regulations by construing vaguely defined rules of legislation.
