Amazon Ring’s Super Bowl ad offered a vision of our streets that should leave every person unsettled about the company’s goals for disintegrating our privacy in public. In the ad, disguised as a heartfelt effort to reunite the lost dogs of the country with their innocent owners, the company previewed future surveillance of our streets: a world where biometric identification could be unleashed from consumer devices to identify, track, and locate anything — human, pet, and otherwise. The ad for Ri

EFF last summer asked a federal judge to block the federal government from using Medicaid data to identify and deport immigrants. We also warned about the danger of the Trump administration consolidating all of the government’s information into a single searchable, AI-driven interface with help from Palantir, a company that has a shaky-at-best record on privacy and human rights. Now we have the first evidence that our concerns have become reality. “Palantir is working on a tool for Immigration a

De Spaanse autoriteit voor gegevensbescherming, de Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, heeft richtlijnen gepubliceerd over het anonimiseren van gegevens. Deze richtlijnen stellen dat een getrainde professional de anonimisering van een dataset met persoonlijke gegevens moet uitvoeren, en dat deze professional ook ervaring moet hebben met pogingen tot heridentificatie. Hoewel er altijd een "resterend risico" bestaat dat gegevens opnieuw geïdentificeerd kunnen worden, moet de verantwoordelijke voor de gegevensverwerking verantwoordelijkheid nemen voor het anonimiseringsproces en "geschikte maatregelen treffen om te zorgen voor naleving, rekening houdend met..."

> GDPR RISK ASSESSMENT is intended to assist controllers and processors to identify the risk factors for the rights and freedoms of data subjects whose data are present in the processing, to make an initial assessment of the intrinsic risk, including the need to perform a DPIA, and to estimate the residual risk if measures and safeguards are used to mitigate the specific risk factors.

De GDPR-risicoanalyse is bedoeld om controllers en verwerkers te helpen bij het identificeren van de risicofactoren voor de rechten en vrijheden van de betrokkenen, wiens gegevens worden verwerkt. Het doel is om een eerste inschatting te maken van het inherente risico, inclusief de noodzaak om een Privacy Impact Assessment (DIA) uit te voeren, en om het resterende risico te schatten als maatregelen en beveiligingsmechanismen worden gebruikt om specifieke risicofactoren te verminderen.

Self-sovereign identity is an embryonic technology with uncertain benefits for refugees. It may help to empower them, but it also risks reinforcing the power of states and corporations over them, according to this article.

Zelfvoorzienende identiteit is een technologie in een vroeg stadium van ontwikkeling, waarvan de voordelen voor vluchtelingen nog onzeker zijn. Het kan hen mogelijk meer autonomie geven, maar het riskeert ook de macht van staten en bedrijven ten opzichte van hen te versterken, zo stelt dit artikel.

Lawfully collected and stored personal data may be retained in an additional internal database, to the extent that it pursues the same data processing purposes as the original data collection.
