Abstract. The concept of Privacy by Design (PbD) is a vision for creating dataprocessing environments in a way that respects privacy and data protection in the design of products and processes from the start. PbD has been inspired by and elaborated in different disciplines (especially law and computer science). Developments have taken place in research and policy, with the General Data Protection Regulation to be adopted by the European Parliament in 2016 and to enter into force in 2018. It is now time to use the results for practical guidance on how to achieve the goals defined by the legislation. In this paper, we summarise lessons learned from the special session on Multidisciplinary Aspects of PbD organised at the Annual Privacy Forum 2015. In particular, we identify important current and future implementation challenges of PbD. These are: terminology, legal compliance, different disciplines' understandings, the role of the data protection officer, the involvement of all stakeholders, and education. We conclude by emphasising the importance of approaching PbD in an interdisciplinary way.
Abstract:Third party application providers in Online Social Networks can collect personal data of users through their friends without the user's awareness. In some cases, one or more application providers may own several applications and thus the same provider may collect an excessive amount of personal data, which creates a serious privacy risk. Previous research has developed methods to quantify privacy risks in Online Social Networks. However, most of the existing work does not focus on the issues of personal data disclosure via the user's friends applications and application providers. The aim of this paper is to investigate the need for solutions that can compute privacy risk related to applications and application providers. In this work we perform a legal and technical analysis of the privacy threats stemming from the collection of personal data by third parties when applications are installed by the user's friends. Particularly, we examine the case of Facebook as it is the most popular Online Social Network nowadays.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
