A PROTEÇÃO DE DADOS PESSOAIS SOB O REGULAMENTO GERAL DE PROTEÇÃO DE DADOS DA UNIÃO EUROPEIA

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar o direito sobre proteção de dados na Europa, expondo os seus conceitos, princípios e traços fundamentais. Como a efetivação foi tema de grande importância para a motivação do RGPD-UE, introduzem-se as estruturas da implementação, particularmente a importância das autoridades independentes de fiscalização, bem como o novo mecanismo de coerência mediante o qual atua o novo Comitê Europeu para a Proteção de Dados (European Data Protection Board – EDPB) (4). Conclui-se a contribuição com uma perspectiva referente a novos desafios e novas abordagens de regulação (5)

Mining Legal Arguments in Court Decisions

Identifying, classifying, and analyzing arguments in legal discourse has been a prominent area of research since the inception of the argument mining field. However, there has been a major discrepancy between the way natural language processing (NLP) researchers model and annotate arguments in court decisions and the way legal experts understand and analyze legal argumentation. While computational approaches typically simplify arguments into generic premises and claims, arguments in legal research usually exhibit a rich typology that is important for gaining insights into the particular case and applications of law in general. We address this problem and make several substantial contributions to move the field forward. First, we design a new annotation scheme for legal arguments in proceedings of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) that is deeply rooted in the theory and practice of legal argumentation research. Second, we compile and annotate a large corpus of 373 court decisions (2.3M tokens and 15k annotated argument spans). Finally, we train an argument mining model that outperforms state-of-the-art models in the legal NLP domain and provide a thorough expert-based evaluation. All datasets and source codes are available under open lincenses at https://github.com/trusthlt/mining-legal-arguments.Comment: to appear in Artificial Intelligence and La

The Regulation of Commercial Profiling – A Comparative Analysis

The authors, all data protection experts, discuss the status of the relevant data protection regulatory framework on profiling in the business sector in sev- eral countries worldwide, from the constitutional lev- el to some individual regulation including the gener- al attitude towards the topic. The EU perspective is presented on the basis of the present directives as well as the General Data Protection Regulation. The United Kingdom, Germany and France, as three of the largest EU Member States with partly highly dif- fering regulatory approaches represent Member State law. Australia, Brazil and the US regulation ex- emplify the different integration of data protection standards and different models of approaching pro- filing in the globalised IT world.*
