Data Protection by Design and by Default a la European General Data Protection Regulation

摘要

The European data protection reform has resulted in a new regulation that will be effective from May 2018. This so-called General Data Protection Regulation contains specific provisions on data protection by design and on data protection by default. After briefly discussing related approaches such as "privacy by design", we will elaborate how these provisions can be interpreted and sketch the potential impact on data processing in Europe and possibly beyond.
