“…It was observed that the percentage of privacy policies that are accessible considering the average reading grade of the common users falls below 10%. A similar study on ToS of 500 popular websites by Benoliel et al [1] observed that 498 of the sample ToS require a reading grade of 9 and higher.…”

“…For validation dataset A, we compared the average of user rating to the ViCLOUD score for that document in range [1][2][3][4][5]. For validation dataset B, we compared the average of user rating to the ViCLOUD score for that document in range [1][2][3]. We used the Pearson correlation coefficient to measure the correlation between ViCLOUD score and average user opinion.…”

“…For example, Kinsa uses deidentified temperature measurement data shared by individuals to produce a "heatmap" of human temperatures in the country. 1 To meet the data privacy regulations and assuage consumer concerns, cloud service providers often include legal documents that detail the service functionality and data privacy policies of the service providers. Consumers and providers of cloud services sign a Terms of Services (ToS) agreement, which is a legal document that defines the rules of conduct for the customer and guarantees the availability of services and resources when the conditions are met.…”

“…This is because people may often fail to read fine print terms, 49 lack the reading skills required to understand fine print terms, or be steered to certain less than welfare-enhancing choices by the form of the terms 50 and the risks they allocate. 51 People also find making significant decisions concerning the future difficult, 52 particularly when operating under considerable stress and involving technology about which they have little experience. 53 These insights mean that consent should not be used to justify technological options that otherwise pose risks for individuals.…”

Digital technologies are being used to combat the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic through a variety of methods, including monitoring compliance with quarantine and contact tracing. These uses of technology are said to promote public health outcomes but risk undermining rights to privacy. In this article we focus on the use of digital technologies for contact tracing, such as the COVIDSafe app used in Australia. We explore the kind of framework that might be used for evaluating the design, deployment and governance of such technologies to ensure they operate in a manner that is proportionate to the ends to be achieved. We conclude that, in addition to issues of privacy, any use of contact tracing technology should address important considerations of efficacy, equity and accountability.

This chapter explores the influence of technology on traditional components of inheritance. An increasing amount of social interaction takes place online. Consequently, people accumulate large quantities of digital assets. Some of these assets have a considerable material value, while others might have emotional value for the family of a decedent. They might also have historical value for society in general. However, from the standpoint of inheritance law, in many countries it is unclear what happens to digital assets after their owner/user dies. These assets represent a new type of “property” and few legislators around the world have regulated them specifically. The need to implement these assets into inheritance law is why it is important for law students to be familiar with the concept of digital assets, understand their categories, as well as the differences between them. The chapter also considers possible solutions on what will happen to them, post mortem. To map the landscape for the readers, the chapter divides digital assets into four comprehensive groups and explains what happens to each of these digital assets post mortem. This chapter also lists the reasons why some of these assets cannot be inherited and possible problems with inheritance of those digital assets that are inheritable.
