GOVERNING DATA AND PROTECTING PRIVACY: “REALITY” VERSUS “ON-PAPER” - A DEEP DIVE INTO THE DATA ECOSYSTEM
-
Data is a high-demand valuable "commodity" keenly garnered by businesses, governments, and other organizations. Individuals share their personal and health information in order to receive a service, complete a transaction, or participate in some social activity. With the Internet, it is easy to capture, process, store, and share (transmit) this information, in a virtual borderless ecosystem. We, however, live within territories with borders. Many countries have introduced Data Privacy and Protection legislations and Regulations, but cross-border data transfers give rise to digital sovereignty and jurisdiction challenges that are compounded by the ability (or inability) to monitor compliance and carry out enforcement. Additionally, technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Augmented and Virtual Reality, and micro-targeting walk the fine line between providing great user experience and economic opportunities (the good) and being invasive/intrusive and exploitative (the bad and the ugly). According to UNCTAD 2021, 72% of countries across the globe have legislation, 9% have draft legislation, 15% have no legislation and 5% have no data. Does the increased legislation translate to the achievement of the right to data privacy and data protection? There is a crucial need to evaluate the implementation of legal frameworks in the context of data governance and protecting privacy. Governance and Legal Frameworks must be devised not only for “within the borders” but also cross-borders. This is critical for mitigating risk while meeting the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals. It is imperative that personal data privacy, the protection of the right to privacy, human rights, and national security be preserved while optimizing the use of digital technologies. The Internet must be a safe place for data and data sharing. ASSOCIATED THEMES ○ Theme 1: Technologies and the perspective of people and data: Privacy and protection, a multi-stakeholder perspective. ○ Theme 2: Data protection and privacy: What is being protected, people or data? Who is being protected – Big Business or Government or people? What is the outcome - the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. ○ Theme 3: Towards an understanding of data governance and protection of privacy in the digital age: a multi-stakeholder perspective. Do we have a collective understanding of data? ○ Theme 4: Cross border data flows: opportunities and threats in the midst of deriving value. What are the opportunities – advanced and new technologies for economic growth and people empowerment? What are the threats - human rights, national security, privacy? ○ Theme 5: Evaluation of the implementation of the data privacy legislation: successes and setbacks. Who’s really aware? EXPECTED OUTCOME Facilitate dialog and insight on who and what is being protected while improving economies and lives – people or data or something else? A deep dive into what is “reality” and what is “on paper” as it pertains to the data ecosystem (people, regulatory frame, technologies, data in its many expressions). Identify successes and setbacks with the aim of using lessons learned to build and improve. Develop a collective understanding of data privacy and protection that will enable better governance structures for data that will meaningfully protect persons while improving lives and economic growth. Possible next steps: - Principles and commitments on data protection and privacy to propose to the MAG for inclusion in its contributions to the GDC; - Linkages between data protection, freedom of expression, and access to information; - Research agenda to build evidence on the effectiveness of and gaps in data protection laws; - Advocacy to build a coalition on data for sustainable development and peace POLICY QUESTIONS 1. What are we aiming to protect, data or people? 2. At what point does inclusion start? What should be protected? When should protection start? Where does protection start? 3. How do we control what happens to data while deriving value? 4. How are the increased laws and regulations being implemented? Are countries complying? Is data privacy being achieved in these countries? LINKS TO SDGs Goal 8: Promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all Goal 9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation Goal 11 Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable Goal 16 Peace, justice, and strong institutions THE PANEL 1.
