Data Protection and Privacy: Data Protection and Democracy

The subjects of privacy and data protection are more relevant than ever, especially since the raft of electoral scandals concerning voter profiling in the last year. This volume brings together papers that offer conceptual analyses, highlight issues, propose solutions, and discuss practices regarding privacy and data protection. It is one of the results of the twelfth annual International Conference on Computers, Privacy and Data Protection, (CPDP 2019), held in Brussels in January 2019.

The book explores the following topics: dataset nutrition labels, lifelogging and privacy by design, data protection iconography, the substance and essence of the right to data protection, public registers and data protection, modelling and verification in data protection impact assessments, examination scripts and data protection law in Cameroon, the protection of children's digital rights in the GDPR, and the concept of the scope of risk in the GDPR.

This interdisciplinary book was written while recognition of the scale of impacts of data processing on society – not only on individuals, but also on social systems – is becoming ever starker. It discusses open issues and daring and prospective approaches, and will serve as an insightful resource for readers with an interest in computers, privacy and data protection.
