Protection of Natural Persons with Regard to Automated Individual Decision-Making in the GDPR
Author: Aleksandra Drożdż
Publisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 9403520515
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
Increasingly, algorithms regulate our lives. Personal data is routinely processed on an unprecedented scale in both private and public sectors. This shift from more subjective and less structured human decision-making processes to automated ones has provoked numerous concerns with regard to the rights and freedoms of natural persons affected. In particular, those attached to profiling that can lead to discrimination influencing crucial opportunities of individuals, such as the ability to obtain credit, insurance, education, a job or even medical treatment. To the extent that automated individual decision-making is based on personal data, in the European Union it is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation. The author examines whether this legislative act affords sufficient protection of natural persons with regard to such processing, identifying the loopholes that hinder or prevent its efficacy and the de lege lata rules and de lege ferenda postulates that could provide individuals with effective protection in relation to automated individual decision-making. She provides an in-depth analysis of such aspects as the following: the GDPR’s background, terminology and material and territorial scope of application; key concerns regarding automated individual decision-making; specific and general provisions of the GDPR relevant to protection of natural persons with regard to automated individual decision-making; special and general rights of the data subject relevant to automated individual decision-making provided for in the GDPR; key limitations to algorithmic transparency; how profiling can create special categories of personal data by inference from ‘ordinary’ personal data; and how the version of reality derived from personal data is often at least partially inaccurate. To interpret the rules of the GDPR, the analysis draws on the travaux préparatoires, case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and national courts that concerns the previous Data Protection Directive, guidelines and opinions of the Article 29 Working Party and the European Data Protection Board, various reports and recommendations and numerous academic writings. In its consideration of some of the most controversial issues in the realm of personal data protection – issues whose role in the information society will grow rapidly – this book represents a major contribution to research and legal guidance at the confluence of law and new technologies concerning algorithmic accountability. Policymakers, regulators and lawyers active in the ongoing development of personal data protection law will become knowledgeable about interpretations and guidelines formulated by European data protection authorities, as well as examples and best practices in the field. Moreover practitioners will find the implementation of automated individual decision-making systems in accordance with the GDPR greatly facilitated. The analysis will assist data protection authorities and judicature in assessing such systems and interpreting the GDPR framework with regard to protection of natural persons in the years to come.

The Manga Guide to Databases
Author: Mana Takahashi
Publisher: No Starch Press
ISBN: 1593271905
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Want to learn about databases without the tedium? With its unique combination of Japanese-style comics and serious educational content, The Manga Guide to Databases is just the book for you. Princess Ruruna is stressed out. With the king and queen away, she has to manage the Kingdom of Kod's humongous fruit-selling empire. Overseas departments, scads of inventory, conflicting prices, and so many customers! It's all such a confusing mess. But a mysterious book and a helpful fairy promise to solve her organizational problems—with the practical magic of databases. In The Manga Guide to Databases, Tico the fairy teaches the Princess how to simplify her data management. We follow along as they design a relational database, understand the entity-relationship model, perform basic database operations, and delve into more advanced topics. Once the Princess is familiar with transactions and basic SQL statements, she can keep her data timely and accurate for the entire kingdom. Finally, Tico explains ways to make the database more efficient and secure, and they discuss methods for concurrency and replication. Examples and exercises (with answer keys) help you learn, and an appendix of frequently used SQL statements gives the tools you need to create and maintain full-featured databases. (Of course, it wouldn't be a royal kingdom without some drama, so read on to find out who gets the girl—the arrogant prince or the humble servant.) This EduManga book is a translation of a bestselling series in Japan, co-published with Ohmsha, Ltd., of Tokyo, Japan.

The IUCN Invertebrate Red Data Book
Swiss Public Administration
Author: Andreas Ladner
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319923811
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
Swiss citizens approve of their government and the way democracy is practiced; they trust the authorities and are satisfied with the range of services Swiss governments provide. This is quite unusual when compared to other countries. This open access book provides insight into the organization and the functioning of the Swiss state. It claims that, beyond politics, institutions and public administration, there are other factors which make a country successful. The authors argue that Switzerland is an interesting case, from a theoretical, scientific and a more practice-oriented perspective. While confronted with the same challenges as other countries, Switzerland offers different solutions, some of which work astonishingly well.
