It describes and demonstrates the importance of privacy and data protection for our democracies and how the enjoyment of these rights is challenged by, particularly, big data and mass surveillance.  The book takes the perspective of the EU mandate under Article 16 TFEU. It analyses the contributions of the specific actors and roles within the EU framework: the judiciary, the EU legislator, the independent supervisory authorities, the cooperation mechanisms of these authorities, as well as the EU as actor in the external domain. Article 16 TFEU enables the Court of the Justice of the EU to play its role as constitutional court and to set high standards for fundamental rights protection. It obliges the European Parliament and the Council to lay down legislation that encompasses all processing of personal data. It confirms control by independent supervisory authorities as an essential element of data protection and it gives the EU a strong mandate to act in the global arena. The analysis shows that EU powers can be successfully used in a legitimate and effective manner and that this subject could be a success story for the EU, in times of widespread euroskepsis. It demonstrates that the Member States remain important players in ensuring privacy and data protection. In order to be a success story, the key stakeholders should be prepared to go the extra mile, so it is argued in the book. The book is based on academic research for which the author received a double doctorate at the University of Amsterdam and the Vrije Universiteit Brussels. It builds on a long inside experience within the European institutions, as well as within the community of data protection and data protection authorities. It is a must read in a time where the setting of EU privacy and data protection is changing dramatically, not only as a result of the rapidly evolving information society, but also because of important legal developments such as the entry into force of the General Data Protection Regulation. This book will appeal to all those who are in some way involved in making this regulation work. It will also appeal to people interested in the institutional framework of the European Union and in the role of the Union of promoting fundamental rights, also in the wider world. . 410 0$aIssues in Privacy and Data Protection,$x2352-1929 ;$v31 606 $aMass media 606 $aLaw 606 $aComputers 606 $aLaw and legislation 606 $aLaw?Europe 606 $aConstitutional law 606 $aLaw?Philosophy 606 $aIT Law, Media Law, Intellectual Property$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R15009 606 $aLegal Aspects of Computing$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I24059 606 $aEuropean Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R20000 606 $aConstitutional Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R17028 606 $aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R11011 615 0$aMass media. 615 0$aLaw. 615 0$aComputers. 615 0$aLaw and legislation. 615 0$aLaw?Europe. 615 0$aConstitutional law. 615 0$aLaw?Philosophy. 615 14$aIT Law, Media Law, Intellectual Property. 615 24$aLegal Aspects of Computing. 615 24$aEuropean Law. 615 24$aConstitutional Law. 615 24$aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History. 676 $a340 700 $aHijmans$b Hielke$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01064433 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255189603321 996 $aThe European Union as Guardian of Internet Privacy$92537948 997 $aUNINA
