The laws and legislations

behind protecting your privacy

and personal data .

Paul Murphy

Legislations protecting peoples

privacy

� Data Protection Act 1998

� Computer Misuse Act 1990

What this laws does.� Data may only be used for the specific purposes for which it was collected.

� Data must not be disclosed to other parties without the consent of the individual whom it is about, unless there is legislation or other overriding legitimate reason to share the information (for example, the prevention or detection of crime). It is an offence for Other Parties to obtain this personal data without authorisation.

� Individuals have a right of access to the information held about them, subject to certain exceptions (for example, information held for the prevention or detection of crime).

� Personal information may be kept for no longer than is necessary.(Kept up to date)

� Personal information may not be transmitted outside the European Economic Area unless the individual whom it is about has consented or adequate protection is in place, for example by the use of a prescribed form of contract to govern the transmission of the data.

� Subject to some exceptions for organisations that only do very simple processing, and for domestic use, all entities that process personal information must register with the Information Commissioner's Office.

� Entities holding personal information are required to have adequate security measures in place. Those include technical measures (such as firewalls) and organisational measures (such as staff training).

� Also subjects are allowed/have the right to make changes to wrong information.

Why these laws are needed.

� these laws are needed because without people

could legally Find out about your Lifestyle

choices, Financial situation, Internet

history andMedical background.

� People would be so easily exploitable

� People would feel very uncomfortable

knowing that people and companies could

freely share their personal information.

Without the two Laws mentioned earlier there would be little stopping this hacker

finding out all this honest good mans personal information.

The hard working man The lazy hacker

Do these laws actually protect

your privacy?

About as much as copyright laws

stop people downloading music.

�National privacy, confidentiality or 'decency' laws are

routinely ignored or bypassed.

In 2002, Yahoo! decided to 'tweak' it's customers'

marketing preferences for them.

(Since they couldn't be trusted to know their own minds,

apparently...)

And this kind of thing was approximately 18 months

before the beginning of the 'subprime' mortgage crisis

that led to the current global financial crisis.
