The legal significance of individual choices about privacy and personal data protection
Gloria González Fuster and Serge Gutwirth | Published in 2017
This chapter investigates how legal compliance, as determined by judges and courts, proceeds to take into account individual choices referring to privacy and personal data protection in relation to security. In other words, it is concerned with how legal decisions are taken using or ignoring individual choices related to privacy and personal data protection. As such, it does not seek to directly investigate whether decision makers might take into account these individual preferences when defining related security, technology or research policies, or even when legislating. The chapter will nonetheless refer to how positive law sometimes appears to integrate the consideration of individual choices.
