Keynote Speech:
EU Data Protection Law and its Influence on Webtracking – Everything new with the General Data Protection Regulation and the ePrivacy-Regulation?, Anja Benner-Tischler
Abstract: Webtracking - especially behavioural advertising in recommender systems - entails monitoring people`s online behaviour and collecting personal data in order to provide advertising matching their interests. Whereas there is no doubt that targeted advertising comes with huge economic benefits for advertisers, privacy concerns have been raised. While EU Data Protection Law was recently determined by the EU Data Protection Directive and the E-Privacy Directive as well as the Cookie Directive, since 25th Mai 2018 EU Data Protection law is dominated by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which is directly applicable in each member state of the European Union. Before that, each member state was free to introduce national law, although it had to be compliant with the named directives. Moreover, a draft of the ePrivacy-Regulation dealing especially with cookie-based data processing, was published and will enter into force.
In my talk I will outline the new legal framework, focusing especially on the lawfulness of processing. Special attention will be devoted to the legal requirements that need to be realized by technical implementation, for instance by anonymization and pseudonymization.
