Protection Authority

The Greek Data Protection Authority (DPA) was asked in July 2009 to review a proposed legislation that was exempting personal data processing via camera installations in public spaces from the scope of the Greek Data Protection Law 2472/1997. Such an exemption was justified, among other reasons, for the protection of public safety and crime prevention. This paper examines the legitimacy of this security measure from two angles: European and Greek Law. Furthermore, our analysis focuses on questions of privacy, the concept of public safety and its application, as well as the DPA’s role in safeguarding citizens’ privacy even in city streets.

Subject Brazil's new data protection law. Significance Brazil’s General Data Protection Law (LGPD) will come into effect in August 2020. Largely mirroring the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the new legislation seeks to strengthen citizen privacy while also giving legal certainty to businesses engaging in data transfers. However, unlike EU jurisdictions, Brazil will not set up an autonomous data authority to enforce its legislation. Rather, its new National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) will be directly linked to the presidency and have no budgetary independence. Impacts A reduced talent pool will limit the growth of Brazilian firms in the digital economy. Shortages of relevant talent will affect companies’ ability to innovate. The shortcomings of Brazil’s data protection legislation could add a serious hurdle to the development of its digital economy.

In order to protect the privacy of participating patients in multicentric genetic research projects and to improve the working conditions for researchers in such projects a data protection framework needs to be installed. In the first place, all genetic data processed in the project has to be pseudonymized. In addition to that, contracts have to be concluded between the project and each project partner to guarantee that genetic data are used only within the project and that each partner complies with data security standards. Furthermore, a central data protection authority has to be installed in the project to control the partners' compliance with these contracts and to serve as a central contact point for participants. If these conditions are fulfilled, only (de facto) anonymous data are used in the project, so that data protection legislation is not directly applicable. Second, each participant has to sign a special consent form for ethical reasons and as a fallback solution if the pseudonymization of the genetic data fails. With this safety net it is possible to protect the participants' privacy and to improve the working conditions for researchers.
