Author Description

In 2018, The Gdpr Started A Revolution In The Data Protection World. One Of The Most Far-reaching Developments Of The New Regulation Was The Chapter On Data Subject Rights. Old Rights Were Strengthened And Extended, And Several New Rights Were Introduced. For Data Subjects Who Felt Overwhelmed With The Information Overload, The Gdpr Meant A Promise Of More Individual Control Over Data. In Combination With Severe Financial Penalties, The Revised Rights Brought The Potential To Become A Vehicle Of Data Protection Law Enforcement. However, There Are Still Many Uncertainties Related To Data Subject Rights Due To The Fact That The Gdpr Only Recently Entered Into Force. The Court Of Justice Of The Eu And Other Eu Governmental Authorities Have Not Yet Had The Time To Provide Thorough And Updated Guidance (although The Court Has Been Actively Adjudicating On These Individual Rights Ever Since The Gdpr Was Adopted). Not Only Is The Lack Of Guidance A Problem, The Applicability Of Data Subject Rights Is Strongly Influenced By The Economic And Social (data-driven) Context. This Book Provides A Thorough Analysis Of Data Subject Rights Under The New Gdpr Framework And Their Legal Operation. The Goal Is To Help Individuals (lawyers And Others) To Navigate The Subject Area And/or Possibly Pursue Claims. Its Additional Value Is That It Considers The Rights In A Big Data Environment And Therefore More Accurately Points Out Inefficiencies And Provides Criticism Where Needed.
