Description
In Digital Data Collection and Information Privacy Law, Mark Burdon argues for the reformulation of information privacy law to regulate new power consequences of ubiquitous data collection. Examining developing business models, based on collections of sensor data - with a focus on the 'smart home' - Burdon demonstrates the challenges that are arising for information privacy's control-model and its application of principled protections of personal information exchange. By reformulating information privacy's primary role of individual control as an interrupter of modulated power, Burdon provides a foundation for future law reform and calls for stronger information privacy law protections. This book should be read by anyone interested in the role of privacy in a world of ubiquitous and pervasive data collection.
Reviews / Votes
'Mark Burdon reminds us that being 'smart' does not automatically equate to being mindful of the power relationships that inhere in our data-driven environments. This important book supplies a roadmap for operationalizing privacy in a world where everything is connected and collected.' Julie E. Cohen, Mark Claster Mamolen Professor of Law and Technology, Georgetown Law 'Mark Burdon provides an invaluable response to the challenge posed to our historical and legal conceptions of privacy by a fast-changing, data-hungry information environment. This is an important and groundbreaking work that develops an original quiver of concepts for rethinking privacy regulation in the surveillance economy. It will be foundational for reinventing what we mean when we talk about privacy for years to come.' Mark Andrejevic, Monash University, author of Automated Media 'The book is well written ... it is comprehensive, insightful, and very valuable for those wrestling with the ethical implications of the emerging globalized information society.'
