20 February 2018


Putting a price on your invaluable private life? Personal data and the values behind

Lunchtime event co-organised by the EDPS and the Brussels Privacy Hub


Personal data undoubtedly have value for the many companies and public authorities that process them. They can help generating inestimable knowledge, as well as important economic benefits. Data subjects, however, seem to be generally unaware of the worthiness of the data that they accept to share, possibly inducing them to give it away somehow too lightly, accepting unfair transactions. Could a clearer perception of the values of data reinforce the protection of individuals? What is behind the concept of value? Price, fundamental rights, intimacy, control, are values that can hide behind data. Could the progressive tendency to accept the commodification of personal data go against the basic values on which are grounded European fundamental rights?

 


This event will open up a discussion on the values of personal data, bringing together different perspectives and stakeholders.

Damian Clifford, KU Leuven
