Aware digital communication respecting privacy and the apps or services you choose
Introduction After our previous post, we are returning to the subject of modern-day communication - digital communication - where we are app users with a solution-conscious approach. The aim is to raise digital users’ awareness of issues relating to the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and privacy. Human beings communicate daily and increasingly (or perhaps almost exclusively) through the use of apps that exploit the Internet: some are exceptionally well-known and popular among users, such as Whatsapp, Signal, Telegram, Messenger, Skype, etc....
Consciously looking at messaging apps: when users want broad freedom and full control over their data
In one of our previous contributions, we stated that the human being needs to communicate (the first axiom of the Palo Alto School)[1] , and the advantage offered by the Internet of interacting with other people even at a distance has been successful. Moreover, numerous popular and scientific contributions described the social evolution (or involution, depending on the point of view), and it is undoubted understandable that it may have legal and juridical repercussions....

The Court of Justice invalidates adequacy Decision 2016/1250 - Data Protection Shield
Today we read the press release about the decision of the Court of Justice on the Case C-311/18 by which it has been invalided the Decision 2016/1250 on the adequacy of the protection provided by the EU-US Data Protection Shield.
That decision is complex, and it needs to be examined carefully, point by point.
Transfers of personal data to third countries or international organisations are a very crucial topic that has to be addressed soon by the European Commission both for a new adequacy decision and anyway for new standard contractual clauses....

COVID19 and tracking apps: an aware approach based on privacy and data protection rules
The health emergency related to the #COVID19 pandemic is attracting particular attention in the privacy field, also about possible initiatives regarding the development of specific apps.
