In this article, we analyze how the Brazilian Act for the Protection of Personal Data --- Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais (LGPD) in Portuguese --- can contribute to handling some situations involving post-mortem digital legacy. For that purpose, we investigate some aspects of this act that can concur with the development of software and internet applications that cope with users’ digital assets. We analyzed the role of LGPD in the Brazilian legal system. The research was carried out based on a literature review and on the analysis of the relevant legislation and some bills proposed to regulate the matter. In line with the national constitutional order, the results point to the possibility of applying the principles and foundations of the data protection act as an axiological matrix for the treatment of the existing digital legacy.

Purpose of research: define the general characteristics of the protection of personal data; analysis of legislation and case law.Methods of research: analysis and study of regulatory documents containing provisions on protection of personal data.Results: normative and practical importance of personal data protection provisions in various legal acts has been underscored.The right to privacy strengthened its position in the United States in the late 19th century and is now recognized by most States.Although the right to privacy in the United States was originally a British political legacy, judicial decisions in England were more conservativeand cautious than those of U.S. courts. One of the important features of this law in the Anglo-Saxon legal system is that itwas previously formed by judicial precedents and legal doctrine. Also, the right to privacy was not among the rights provided for in theBill of Rights. In general, there is an industry-wide approach to data privacy in the United States. There is no specific federal law thatwould guarantee the confidentiality and protection of personal data. Instead, legislation at the federal level is dispersed and aims to protectdata in certain sectors. Judicial practice and court decisions taken at different times play an important role in regulating personaldata protection in the United States. It is also worth mentioning that until the 1970s, decisions of the U.S. courts did not provide thenecessary privacy protection safeguards.Discussion: offering a comprehensive and detailed study and use of this practice in other states.

<p><strong>Abstrak</strong><br />“Setiap orang berhak atas perlindungan diri pribadi, keluarga, kehormatan, martabat, dan harta benda yang di bawah kekuasaannya, serta berhak atas rasa aman dan perlindungan dari ancaman ketakutan untuk berbuat atau tidak berbuat sesuatu yang merupakan hak asasi”. Inilah rumusan dari Pasal 28 G Ayat (1) dari Undang-Undang Dasar, yang dinyatakan Perubahannya yang Kedua dalam suatu Ketetapan Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat Republik Indonesia. Dalam rumusan ketentuan ini orang dapat menyuling semua asas yang mengatur perlindungan data dalam Sistem Hukum Pancasila.Di samping rumusan ketentuan di atas, sejumlah rumusan kaedah hukum lainnya berisi asas-asas yang sama dapat juga ditemukan dalam beberapa Undang-Undang yang berlaku dalam sistem hukum Indonesia. Antara lain, UU No. 8 tahun 2011 tentang ITE. Penulis artikel ini berpendapat bahwa seluruh rumusan ketentuan dimaksud adalah bentuk-bentuk perwujudan diri dari jiwa bangsa (Volksgeist) tempat orang dapat menemukan asas-asas dan kaidah yang mengatur perlindungan data dalam Sistem Hukum Pancasila. Satu dari asas hukum yang melindungi data pribadi dapat digunakan untuk memecahkan skandal terkini, yaitu Panamapapers.</p><p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>“Every person has the rights to get protection on his personal/privacy, family, honor, dignity and properties under his power, and has rights to feel secure and to get protection from fear of any threat in order to do or not to do something related to their fundamental rights. This is the formulation of the Article 28 G (1) of the Indonesian Basic Act, mentioned in its Second Amendment mentioned in the Decision of the People's Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia. In this stipulation one could distil all the legal principles governing data protection in the Pancasila Legal System. Apart from the stipulation mentioned above, some further formulation of legal rules contained similar principles may also be found in several Acts in the Indonesian legal system. Among those Acts, is the Act number 8 of 2011 concerning Information and Electronic Transaction. This writer argues that all of the stipulations are forms of manifestation of the spirit of the Indonesian people (Volksgeist) in which one could find rules and principles governing data protection in the Pancasila Legal System. One of the principles of Law that protect the personal data could be used in order to solve the rescent scandal called Panamapapers.</p>

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.

The European legal system governing data protection issues is widely regarded as an adequate blueprint for late developers to follow. According to this position, host countries will benefit from receiving the ready-made data protection law because it has already gone through a process of trial and error in Europe. For example, China follows the traditional civil law measures on data protection, such as contractual and tort liability. No Chinese legislation deals specifically with the right to protection of personal data. In China, researchers paid attention to the European legal system, which is regarded as the milestone for data protection. Some vigorously suggest that China should quickly move to enact data protection law based on the model provided by European law.When Chinese researchers strongly promote the European legal system over data protection issues, they send an underlying message that the quality of European laws is good enough to sufficiently deter violations: Individuals would be prohibited from carrying out harmful actions as soon as the expected law is transplanted to China. From a Chinese perspective, our country could quickly move to enact a similar law following the tone of Europe in order to enhance the efficiency of data protection. But is this a compelling position? Will European data protection laws indeed regulate unambiguously and prospectively? Will European data protection laws provide clear guidance to Chinese judges for resolving data protection-related cases? And will the court-enforced laws sufficiently solve the broad spectrum of problems on data use? Understanding the European enforcement mechanism covering data protection issues, and thereby assessing its efficacy on deterrence, is vital to answering these questions.

The digital tax system is becoming extremely essential in the modern world. As we look at the system itself as a great benefit for its users and states as well, we tend to forget the role of personal data within it. Personal data play crucial role in the errorless digital tax system. The new regulation of EU, General Data Protection Regulation is addressing processing of personal data within the state administration of EU member states. The aim of this article is to examine the effect of GDPR on the digital tax system and encourage wide academic and public discussion in relation to processing of personal data in the digital tax system.

The relationship between access to information and personal data protection leads to the relativization of transparency under the argument of a false tradeoff between these two concepts. Based on that, this study’s objective is to understand the role of civil society movements in maintaining the rights of access to information and personal data protection. This research made a qualitative analysis, with a documentary survey and bibliographic review of the main categories presented in the Executive-Legislative relationship and in the theme of advocacy. We observe the role of civil society lobby groups in the Brazilian Access to Information Law legislative process, between 2003 and 2011, and the Brazilian Data Protection Act, between 2012 and 2018, perceive the change of these groups with the foundation of Rights in Network Coalition, in 2016. As a result, the active participation of Civil Society in public hearings has intensified increasingly in public hearings since 2018, specifically on the LGPD, while LAI had participation of civil society in the body’s scope institutionalized.

This study aims to determine the regulations regarding the legal protection of the use of personal data in an effort to provide legal certainty to the public and the role of law enforcers in preventing criminal acts of misuse of personal data in the future from the perspective of criminal law reform through normative juridical research methods. Based on the results of the research, it shows that in order to create legal certainty, it is necessary to establish a law that regulates specifically, clearly, structured and comprehensively regarding the protection of personal data and harmonizes existing laws and regulations governing personal data protection as well as clear mechanisms related to coordination between enforcers. law. In this regard, the researcher proposes that there should be the formation of norms regulating criminal sanctions in their enforcement as a deterrent effect as well as reconstruction and reformulation of norms in the regulations regarding personal data protection that are currently in effect.
