Regulation 2016/679 (Practical aspects of implementation in a comparative approach with previous data protection provisions in Europe)

Dea Nini

San Francisco Bay Area technologist Gary Kovacs stated that privacy is not optional and should never be the price we pay for getting the services. The European legal framework has historically paid attention to personal data. Directive 95/46/EC “On the protection of personal data” defines as such any information that could be used to identify a person and states the obligation of every controller to obtain consent before collecting, processing, and/or using any personal data1. With the innovations brought by globalization, technology, and digital evolution, many controllers moved their servers “offshore”, which coincides with a smaller control space for legal entities regarding the treatment of personal data at their disposal.
