Description

In Digital Data Collection and Information Privacy Law (PDF), Mark Burdon debates for the reformulation of information privacy law to regulate new power outcomes of ubiquitous data collection. Scrutinizing developing business models, based on collections of sensor data – with an emphasis on the ‘smart home’ – Burdon shows the challenges that are ascending for information privacy’s control-model and its application of principled protections of personal information exchange. By reformulating information privacy’s key role of individual control as an interrupter of modulated power, Burdon offers a foundation for future law reform and calls for stronger information privacy law protections. This ebook should be read by anyone interested in the role of privacy in a world of ubiquitous and pervasive data collection.
