A privacy impact assessment framework for data protection and privacy rights

This report reviews the privacy impact assessment (PIA) methodologies of seven countries and 10 PIA case studies. No other published report, to our knowledge, has done this. Thus, it represents the most complete compendium and analysis of PIA policies and practices yet compiled and published (on the PIAF website www.piafproject.eu). PIAF is the acronym for a Privacy Impact Assessment Framework. The report is the first deliverable prepared for the European Commission's Directorate- General Justice under the Fundamental Rights and Citizenship Programme, Grant Agreement number: JUST/2010/FRAC/AG/1137 - 30-CE-0377117/00-70. The PIAF project kicked off in January 2011 and finishes in August 2012

D7.2 ResiStand contact list gap analysis results year 2

This document, the ResiStand contact list gap analysis results year 2 (D7.2) presents the findings of a second analysis of the contacts that are recognized as having engaged with ResiStand, whether they have registered to one of the projects three Stakeholder Communities (i.e., the Standards AdvisoryGroup, End-User Community, or Supplier Community) or have connected with the project on Twitter or LinkedIn. A year 2 analysis of the Stakeholder Community members, LinkedIn Connections, and Twitter Followers in terms of 1) the countries they represent, 2) the types of organisation represented, and 3) their gender was undertaken and the findings are presented in this deliverable. Additionally,the deliverable includes strategy documents developed by the respective manager of each community, which provides information on; 1) the aim and position of the community, 2) its relevant stakeholders, and 3) the approach adopted to involve the community in the ResiStand project. Between January and May 2017, the Standards Advisory Group (SAG) has increased by 3 members and is now comprised of 19 members, who represent 10 countries. The SAG is well balanced with members from European/National Standards bodies (26%), governmental organisations (37%), research/academia (16%), Industry/SMEs (16%) and a Non-Governmental Organisation (5%). The SAG is the only Stakeholder Community that has a slightly higher percentage of female stakeholders, with 53% of the SAG being female. The End-User Community (E-UC) grew by 77% between January and May 2017, increasing from 47 to 83 registered members. The End-User Community (E-UC) continues to represent 20 countries, however, there has been a growth in the number of contacts representing 12 countries. As in January 2017, just under half (47%) of the E-UC members represent governmental organisations. In line with the emergency management field, 86% of the E-UC is male, increasing by 1% since January 2017. Between January and May 2017, the Supplier Community (SUC) grew by 43%, increasing from 54 registered members to 77. In addition, the number of countries represented by the SUC increased from 19 to 21 and the registered members of nine countries increased. Industry/SMEs (62%) andResearch/Academia (31%) continue to be the most represented organisation types. As in January 2017, 74% of the SUC are male

Sorting out smart surveillance

Surveillance is becoming ubiquitous in our society. We can also see the emergence of "smart" surveillance technologies and the assemblages (or combinations) of such technologies, supposedly to combat crime and terrorism, but in fact used for a variety of purposes, many of which are intrusive upon the privacy of law-abiding citizens. Following the dark days of 9/11, security and surveillance became paramount. More recently, in Europe, there has been a policy commitment to restore privacy to centre stage. This paper examines the legal tools available to ensure that privacy and personal data protection are respected in attempts to ensure the security of our society, and finds that improvements are needed in our legal and regulatory framework if privacy is indeed to be respected by law enforcement authorities and intelligence agencies. It then goes on to argue that privacy impact assessments should be used to sort out the necessity and proportionality of security and surveillance programmes and policies vis - vis privacy. © 2010 Hogan Lovells.
