39th International Conference (ICDPPC)
39th International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners (ICDPPC), Presentation by Giovanni Buttarelli & Ventislav Karadjov, Hong Kong, China
Technological advancement, most centrally big data processing and the interconnectedness of digital devices, allow for the collection and usage of personal data in increasingly complex and opaque ways, thus posing significant threats to privacy and data protection. Against this background, the EDPS ethics initiative has been calling for a broad understanding of privacy and data protection as core values central to protecting human dignity, autonomy and the democratic functioning of our societies.
