Osaamistavoitteet

This is an intensive course of two weeks and consecutive seminar aiming at familiarizing students with theories and policies concerning the protection of personal data ranging from a historic and philosophical perspective leading to the European General Data Protection Regulation and the consequences on the use of advanced technologies as AI and robotics. Further famous international cases concerning the international exchange of personal data as Facebook and Google cases and the activities of intelligence agencies concerning the use of personal data will be subject of the course as well as the influence of concepts and cases on the right to be forgotten and the use of IoT and big data. In this way students will acquire a better understanding of the role of this fundamental right of privacy and data protection in the current society.

Sisältö

The course offers a general introduction to Privacy law and data protection law, including the analysis of the concept of privacy and data protection in different treaties as the Charter of the UN, the Europe Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), the European Charter of Fundamental Rights Charter and important secondary legal instruments as the European General Data Protection Regulation. Particular emphasis is given to development of privacy and data protection in historical and philosophical perspective as well as the more modern (European) Case law concerning the data protection regulation an the ECHR. The course will also analyze the relation between privacy and other non-absolute fundamental rights as well as the relation to public interests and the exceptions on the protection of privacy based on legal instruments. Further the role of intrusive technology in the processing of personal data will be highlighted.
