Book SynopsisThis groundbreaking book explores the new legal and economic challenges triggered by big data, and analyses the interactions among and between intellectual property, competition law, free speech, privacy and other fundamental rights vis-à-vis big data analysis and algorithms. Offering both theoretical and practical insights, contributions illustrate the disruptive nature of the data-driven economy. Chapters discuss how products and services are digitalised and broken into bits, that in turn are reassembled, traded and used across sectors and borders, in contrast to how algorithms are already used to influence our choices, govern our news feeds and revolutionise business models at large. Having shown algorithms and big data to be the two fundamental driving forces of the new information society, expert authors explore which policy options, institutional frameworks and values should be adopted by lawmakers and regulatory authorities in order to ensure a fair balance between private interests such as competition, innovation and the fundamental rights of individuals. Innovatively combining both public and private law perspectives, this unique book will provide a valuable resource for scholars and students of information and technology law, media law, privacy, regulatory and human rights law. Its attention to the latest developments will also prove essential for policymakers and practitioners working in related areas.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction – Joe Cannataci, Valeria Falce, Oreste Pollicino 1.

Book SynopsisThis book covers a broad range of legal topics relating to the fields of bioinformatics and medical informatics, which relate to the intersection of biomedical information and computer programming within the contexts of scientific research, product development and healthcare delivery. A number of usually distinct bodies of legal doctrine come together in this area, sometimes overlapping, sometimes colliding in unexpected ways. Key issues discussed in the book include: An overview of the current landscape of bioinformatics and medical informatics A focus on the legal issues arising from the development and acquisition of informatics tools for use in a laboratory or healthcare setting Developments in patent and innovation law that are important for informatics applications A discussion of institutions and collaborative arrangements in which informatics applications are developed and used today Data protection and privacy issues applicable to informatics applications in the U.S. and Europe. While no single work can cover the entire set of legal issues arising from large, dynamic and complex fields such as bioinformatics and medical informatics, this book strives to offer the reader insight into some of the major legal trends and considerations applicable to these fields today.Table of ContentsContents: Preface xvi Introduction to Bioinformatics, Medical Informatics and the Law xxii 1 Overview of bioinformatics and medical informatics technology for non-specialists 1 A.

Book SynopsisEach manager of a department, or a specific responsibility, must assess the data issues and risks as are relevant to their individual department. The manager must assess what data exists; whether it is permitted for use; filter out (including deletion of) data that is over-broad or otherwise not permitted; and ensuring procedures to identify and eliminate processes that open up the risk of future unjustified data collections. While other agents of the company or organisation will have responsibilities in relation to data protection compliance, the manager of a department must also engage in best practices that focus on the data protection obligations of the department. Data protection compliance requires not just adherence to specific data protection legal provisions, but a full understanding of what data exists in the department, company or organisation, where it is located and for what purpose. The personnel manager needs to be satisfied that all of the internal personnel records are fully data protection complaint. Just one of the dangers is that these issues are not addressed in appropriate reviews, contracts and policies. Another risk gap is that there may be policies, etc., but the manager omitted to appropriately include other non full time employees, such as those whom may be contractors, temporary staff, interns, or family members. The marketing manager needs to be satisfied that all of the current and proposed marketing activities, customer lists, and user lists are all compliant with the new data protection rules. Organisations should have undergone an A – Z review of data protection compliance in the lead up to the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) go-live date. In many organisations there will be many activities and actions which carried over from the GDPR review. These need to continue to be actioned. In addition, there is also a new Data Protection Act 2018 to consider. Organisations should also have appointed a new Data Protection Officer (DPO) to assist in these efforts and to be the official point of contact internally and externally (for data protection supervisory authorities and for customers and users). Critically, all Managers need to be aware of data protection compliance and related issues within their own Department. The Manager has duties and responsibilities. The Manager cannot simply assume that someone else will do it, or that all data protection issues for their Department are already being dealt with by the DPO or some other Department.Table of ContentsPART 1: OBLIGATIONS  Definitions and Concepts  Types of Personal Data  Principles  The GDPR  Records  Children  Outsourcing  Data Protection Officer PART 2: MANAGER DATA REVIEW  Manager Duties: Mapping the Data  Manger Duties: Manager and Department Compliance  Manager and Principles  Manager Duties: Implementation  Manager Duties: Deep Data Review  Manager and Training Issues PART 3: MANAGERS DUTIES & DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS  Personnel Manager  Sales Manager  Marketing Manager  IT Manager  Operation Manager  Customer Service Manager  Accounts Manager  Research Manager  Legal Manager  Recommendations  Appendices

This open access book offers a new account on the legal conflict between privacy and trade in the digital sphere. It develops a fundamental rights theory with a new right to continuous protection of personal data and explores the room for the application of this new right in trade law. Replicable legal analysis and practical solutions show the way to deal with cross-border data flows without violating fundamental rights and trade law principles. The interplay of privacy and trade became a topic of worldwide attention in the wake of Edward Snowden’s revelations concerning US mass surveillance. Based on claims brought forward by the activist Maximilian Schrems, the ECJ passed down two high-profile rulings restricting EU-US data flows. Personal data is relevant for a wide range of services that are supplied across borders and restrictions on data flows therefore have an impact on the trade with such services. After the two rulings by the ECJ, it is less clear then ever how privacy protection and trade can be brought together on an international scale. Although it was widely understood that the legal dispute over EU-US data flows concerns the broad application of EU data protection law, it has never been fully explored just how far the EU’s requirements for the protection of digital rights go and what this means beyond EU-US data flows. This book shows how the international effects of EU data protection law are rooted in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and that the architecture of EU law demands that the Charter as primary EU law takes precedence over international law. The book sets out to solve the problem of how the EU legal data transfer regime must be designed to implement the EU’s extraterritorial fundamental rights requirements without violating the principles of the WTO’s law on services. It also addresses current developments in international trade law – the conclusion of comprehensive trade agreements – and offers suggestion for the design of data flow clauses that accommodate privacy and trade.
