Data Privacy - Project

Data Privacy has become a very critical issue, affecting many aspects of personal life as well as industry and governments. Protecting effectively the privacy of personal related data is a major element for the unhindered development of electronic communication technologies and business, not to mention related issues of its impact on heightened security at borders and airports around the world.

This project addresses these critical issues and proposes potential solutions to a tangle of related activities all with a common underlying problem of sharing personal information while simultaneously satisfying the challenges of data privacy protection.

The EC has fortunately tackled the issue of data protection head-on with a series of directives on data privacy, commencing with the now famous Directive 95-46 (1995), and culminating with the far-reaching most recent regulation, GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), whose well-known implementation took effect on 25 May 2018. Some of the key changes of this latter regulation, welcome to the consumer, but a headache for service providers, encompass:

Increased (extra-)Territorial Scope
Penalties
Consent
Breach Notification
Right to Access
Right to be Forgotten
Data Portability
Privacy by Design
Data Protection Officers

The domain of healthcare in particular, has been most challenging, not only because of sensitivity of data, but also because of the leeway accorded to the national governments with regard to some aspects of access and consent to personal health data.

Dr Kass has provided advice to the EC on the subject of Data Privacy & Protection, particularly in its application to healthcare, in the course of work done by the Telemedicine Alliance; see “Telemedicine 2010: Vision for a Personal Medical Network”, and “TMA-Bridge: Towards Interoperable eHealth for Europe” Also see rubric Publications: ICT-Healthcare.
