Data protection has emerged as a crucial and highly debated topic in recent years, exerting significant influence over elections and referendums while raising a multitude of novel legal challenges. At its core, data protection revolves around the statutory safeguards designed to protect the privacy of individuals concerning their personal data. It imposes various obligations on those responsible for storing personal information, such as ensuring the accuracy and lawful retention of such data. The European Union's Data Protection Law provides a comprehensive analysis of the EU's proposed General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This book delves into the rights of data subjects, encompassing the right to information, access, rectification, erasure (right to be forgotten), restriction, portability, and objection. It examines in detail the roles and responsibilities of controllers and processors, as well as governance structures, including the role of the Data Protection Officer, and risk management strategies such as data protection by design and default, Data Protection Impact Assessments, data security measures, and the notification of subjects. The book also explores the role of data protection authorities, such as the European Data Protection Board, and the enforcement mechanisms employed, including fines and other liabilities and penalties. Additionally, other relevant directives and case law are discussed to provide a holistic understanding of the data protection landscape. This comprehensive treatment stands as a unique resource, offering a thorough examination of the subject matter. Furthermore, its international appeal is enhanced by Ireland's prominent position as the European headquarters for numerous digital technology companies, including Facebook and Google, making it an invaluable guide for professionals and stakeholders alike.
