This comprehensive book brings together a collection of thought-provoking papers that delve into conceptual analyses, raise important issues, propose solutions, and explore practices related to privacy, data protection, and the enforcement of rights in a rapidly evolving world. It is a remarkable outcome of the 14th annual International Conference on Computers, Privacy, and Data Protection (CPDP), which took place virtually in January 2021, amidst the unprecedented challenges posed by the global pandemic. The pandemic has brought about profound and ongoing transformations in the way we interact with the media, altering the very fabric of our social interactions. These changes have resulted in the emergence of new approaches to data collection and utilization, characterized by their scale, form, and purpose. This raises complex and challenging questions regarding our rights and the appropriate balance between these rights and other vital social interests. Moreover, the enforcement of these rights in the face of the ever-changing and unpredictable circumstances becomes a daunting task.

The book encompasses a wide range of topics, including digital sovereignty, art and algorithmic accountability, multistakeholderism in Brazil's General Data Protection law, expectations of privacy in the European Court of Human Rights, the role of explanations, Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), smart cities, and, of course, EU data protection law and the pandemic. Written in an interdisciplinary manner, this book addresses both open issues and innovative and forward-thinking approaches, making it an invaluable resource for readers with a keen interest in computers, privacy, and data protection.

At a time when the scale and impact of data processing on society are becoming increasingly evident, this book offers insightful perspectives and actionable insights. It sheds light on the challenges and opportunities that arise in this digital age, providing valuable guidance for policymakers, practitioners, and individuals alike. By exploring the intersection of technology, privacy, and data protection, this book contributes to the ongoing dialogue and efforts to shape a more responsible and equitable digital future.
