Better Data Protection by Design through multicriteria decision making: On false tradeoffs between privacy and utility KU Leuven
© 2017, Springer International Publishing AG. Data Protection by Design (DPbD, also known as Privacy by Design) has received much attention in recent years as a method for building data protection into IT systems from the start. In the EU, DPbD will become mandatory from 2018 onwards under the GDPR. In earlier work, we emphasized the multidisciplinary nature of DPbD. The present paper builds on this to argue that DPbD also needs a multicriteria ...
Co-regulation in EU personal data protection: the case of technical standards and the Privacy by Design standardisation ‘mandate’ Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Data Protection by Design and by Default Vrije Universiteit Brussel
When data protection by design and data subject rights clash KU Leuven
Data protection by design (DPbD), a holistic approach to embedding principles in technical and organizational measures undertaken by data controllers, building on the notion of Privacy by Design, is now a qualified duty in the GDPR. Practitioners have seen DPbD less holistically, instead framing it through the confidentiality-focussed lens of privacy enhancing technologies (PETs). We show that some confidentiality-focussed DPbD strategies used ...
Right engineering? The redesign of privacy and personal data protection Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The idea of building safeguards for privacy and other fundamental rights and freedoms into ICT systems has recently been introduced in EU legislation as ‘Data Protection by Design’. This article studies the techno-epistemic network emerging around this idea historically and empirically. We present the findings of an ‘extended peer consultation’ with representatives of the emerging network: policy-makers, regulators, entrepreneurs and ICT ...
Data protection by design: promises and, perils in crossing the Rubicon between law and engineering Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This article reports some main findings from a study of recent efforts towards building privacy and other fundamental rights and freedoms into smart ICT systems. It mainly focuses on the concept of ‘Data Protection by Design and by Default’ (DPbD), recently introduced by EU legislation, and as implemented through the new field of privacy engineering. We describe the new constellations of actors that gather around this legislative and ...
Designing Technologies with and for Youth: Traps of Privacy by Design KU Leuven
Media and communication scholars studying young people’s privacy often involve them in research in order to better understand their interactions with digital technologies. Yet there is a lack of research on how, when, and why it makes sense to involve young people in the design phase of new technologies and how data protection safeguards can be taken proactively by design. By engaging with the body of literature at the intersection of media and ...
Privacy by Design: From research and policy to practice - the challenge of multi-disciplinarity KU Leuven
© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016. The concept of Privacy by Design (PbD) is a vision for creating dataprocessing environments in a way that respects privacy and data protection in the design of products and processes from the start. PbD has been inspired by and elaborated in different disciplines (especially law and computer science). Developments have taken place in research and policy, with the General Data Protection ...
