Quote:
“As mentioned above, I do not consider these objections to be refutations of the restricted access account. Perhaps it can be developed into a more sophisticated theory. What the objections tend to show, however, is that a more resourceful theoretical framework should be developed. But let us turn, now, to the question of whether this account has anything interesting to say about the protection of the “right to privacy with respect to the processing of personal data”, i.e. the problems of the Directive. The restricted access view is clearly relevant, because the questions of restricted informational access are quite central in the Directive. In particular, the restrictions on the processing of sensitive data are concerned with restricting access to the individual. There are, however, many norms in the directive pertaining to data protection that are not adequately described as restricting access to individuals.”
Learning Expectation:
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of this concept?
- How does the concept apply to the recent situation of society?
- What are the challenges of this concept?
- What are the responsibilities connected to the growth of computer ethics?
Review:
This chapter discussed what is personal data is all about. Personal data is particularly important to ensure that the data is held in a secure manner and that you abide by the requirements to ensure confidentiality of the data.
Some insights about data protection were also highlighted in the chapter:
· Personal data shall be processed fairly and lawfully;
· Personal data shall be obtained only for one or more specified and lawful purposes, and shall not be further processed in any manner incompatible with that purpose or those purposes;
· Personal data shall be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purpose or purposes for which they are processed;
· Personal data shall be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date;
· Personal data processed for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes;
Control is essential in privacy. Privacy has three aspects.
· the protection of personal communications,
· the restriction on physical and informational access and
· the protection for expressing an individuals self identity through activity
What I’ve Learned:
· The right to be informed
· Data subject’s right to access and to object
· The reprocessing of personal data
· Data quality
· Legitimate purposes
· Sensitive data
Integrative questions:
1. What is the relationship between privacy and data protection?
2. What do you mean by protection of channels?
3. What is the concept of privacy as control?
4. What is the concept of privacy as restricted access?
5. Enumerate the uses of personal data.
