As of May 25th 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) started to apply after a long-lasting legislative process. With this regulation, the EU has legislated a robust solution, which addresses individual rights and relevant obligations of service providers, and is directly applicable to all EU Member States. Additionally, the forthcoming Regulation on Privacy and Electronic Communications is expected to give new impetus to the way privacy is protected in electronic communications.
Despite the undisputable importance of the aforementioned legal developments, practical implementation of privacy and data protection requirements is not always easy. This is largely due to the lack of proper integration of these requirements in the ‘heart’ of systems operation ‘by design’ and ‘by default’. At the same time, in an era of new technological challenges, such as Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence, personal data may be processed by an unknown chain of entities, often leading to loss of control on the individuals’ side, detailed profiling or other unexpected processing of data. Therefore, examining what is at stake and where threats thereto originate from becomes of paramount importance.
In the light of the above, ENISA, DG CONNECT and the University of Rome Tor Vergata are organizing Annual Privacy Forum (APF) 2019.
In APF 2019, we invite papers presenting original work on the themes of data protection and privacy and their repercussions on technology business, government, law, society, policy and on law enforcement. An inter-disciplinary approach is high in demand to contribute to bridging the gap between research, business models and policy, much like proposing new models and interpretations are.
Submission Guidelines
