Abstract

Data about our communication, our health, our whereabouts, our financial transactions, etc. are kept all over the place and it’s increasingly difficult to understand who uses what data for which purpose. Who is allowed access to such data, who makes decisions about us on the basis of it? How do privacy matters affect us? Karin Spaink will present trends in the collecting / use of personal data.
