Confidentiality in a Digital World

The unceasing digital progress brings about far-reaching upheavals for the law of confidentiality, data secrecy, and security of information. This volume fathoms the role of law in ensuring, contriving, and balancing confidentiality against the trend towards transparency that European legislation has witnessed in recent years. By bringing together related debates in different sub-disciplines of private law which are (too) often considered in isolation, the book identifies recurring themes, common lines of argument, and the key challenges in upholding confidentiality in the digital age.
