RESUMO A presente investigação objetiva apresentar os princípios de informação equitativa nas políticas de privacidade dos sites das principais empresas brasileiras (segundo lista da revista americana Forbes do ano de 2014). A verificação e análise apoiaram-se em um checklist elaborado a partir de documentos emanados pela Federal Trade Commission e pela Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. O levantamento envolveu 14 empresas selecionadas de um universo de 25, considerando-se o critério de imediatez de acesso à política de privacidade nos respectivos sites. O princípio de segurança é o fundamento mais difundido nas políticas de privacidade das empresas selecionadas (existente em 8 das 14 políticas analisadas), e o princípio de responsabilidade é o de menor aderência, pois não está contemplado em quaisquer das políticas de privacidade online examinadas. A Sabesp apresenta a política de privacidade da web mais completa diante dos princípios de informação equitativa, se comparada às outras políticas analisadas, enquanto que a WEG não apresenta qualquer um dos princípios identificados no levantamento documental. Quanto ao comércio eletrônico, o número de empresas que assume algum princípio é ainda mais reduzido. Conclui-se que, para o universo selecionado, a adesão aos princípios de informação equitativa é incipiente ainda que se ressalte a sua não obrigatoriedade. A discussão aberta do projeto de lei de proteção de dados pessoais no Brasil deverá ter um papel importante na criação de orientações mais completas na temática. Propõem-se estudos adicionais envolvendo a percepção de usuários de tais sites, assim como um recorte de empresas voltadas diretamente ao comércio eletrônico, considerando-se que este contexto pode exigir o alinhamento efetivo aos princípios e outras orientações voltadas à proteção da privacidade e dos dados pessoais no ambiente web.Palavras-chave: Princípios de Informação Equitativa; Política de Privacidade Online; Proteção de Dados Pessoais.ABSTRACT This article aims to present the Fair Information Principles in the privacy policies of the websites of major Brazilian companies (according to the 2014 Forbes Magazine list). The research and analysis were supported by a checklist compiled from documents issued by the Federal Trade Commission and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The study selected fourteen companies from a universe of twenty-five, considering the immediacy criterion of access to the privacy policy on their websites. The security (safeguards) principle is the most widespread foundation in the privacy policies of the companies selected (existing in eight of the fourteen analyzed policies); and the principle of responsibility receives less adhesion since it is not covered in any of the examined online privacy policies. The Sabesp Company presents the most complete privacy policy, considering the compliance with the Fair Information Principles when compared to the others perused, while WEG does not present any of the principles identified in the documental survey. As for e-commerce, the number of companies that assume some of the Principles is even smaller. For the selected universe, adherence to the Fair information Principles is still incipient, and its use is not mandatory. An open discussion of the proposed Brazilian law about personal data protection should play an important role in creating further guidance on the subject. Additional studies in this subject should involve the perception of users, as well as a cutout of companies which target e-commerce, considering that an effective alignment with these principles and other guidelines are required in order to protect the user’s privacy and personal data in the web environment.Keywords: Fair Information Principles; Privacy Policies; Personal Data Protection.

Abstract In the review below the author presents a general overview of the selected contemporary legal issues related to the present growth of the aviation industry and the development of aviation technologies. The review is focused on the questions at the intersection of aviation law and personal data protection law. Massive processing of passenger data (Passenger Name Record, PNR) in IT systems is a daily activity for the contemporary aviation industry. Simultaneously, since the mid- 1990s we can observe the rapid growth of personal data protection law as a very new branch of the law. The importance of this new branch of the law for the aviation industry is however still questionable and unclear. This article includes the summary of the author’s own research conducted between 2011 and 2017, in particular his audits in LOT Polish Airlines (June 2011-April 2013) and Lublin Airport (July - September 2013) and the author’s analyses of public information shared by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), International Air Transport Association (IATA), Association of European Airlines (AEA), Civil Aviation Authority (ULC) and (GIODO). The purpose of the author’s research was to determine the applicability of the implementation of technical and organizational measures established by personal data protection law in aviation industry entities.

The subject of this research is the problems emerging in the process of establishment and development of the Institution of personal data protection in the Russian Federation. Special attention is turned to the comparison of Soviet and Western models of protection of private life and personal data. The authors used interdisciplinary approach, as comprehensive and coherent understanding of socio-legal institution of personal data protection in the Russian Federation is only possible in inseparable connection with examination of peculiarities of the key historical stages in legal regulation of private life of the citizen. After dissolution of the Soviet political and legal system, the primary task of Russian law consisted in development and legal formalization of the institution of protection of human and civil rights and freedoms, first and foremost by means of restricting invasion of privacy by the state and enjoyment of personal freedom. It is concluded that the peculiarities of development of the new Russian political and legal model significantly impacted the formation of the institution of personal data protection in the Russian Federation. The authors believe that the Russian legislator and competent government branches are not always capable to manage the entire information flow of personal data; therefore, one of the priority tasks in modern Russian society is the permanent analysis and constant monitoring of the development of information technologies.
