ABSTRACT In recent years, research within and outside the European Union (EU) has focused on the expanding scope of personal data. The analysis provided has primarily supported the conclusions that in time, personal data will become so ubiquitous that the EU data protection law would become meaningless, unreasonable, or even discredited and ignored. Notwithstanding these criticisms, EU law is promoted as the ‘gold standard' for data protection laws and the law, including its definition of personal data, is being rapidly adopted by many non-EU countries. The objective of this article is to analyse the concept of personal data under EU law and to explore its continued relevance within a data protection framework that is rapidly globalised and in which technology is continuously evolving. The article argues that far from reflecting a universal notion of data protection, the EU law and particularly its definition of personal data reflects a perception of privacy that is peculiarly European. It further argues that recent developments in technology call for a re-examination of the concept of personal data and a more critical approach by countries with nascent data protection regimes. The article proposes the ‘objective risk of contextual harm’ as a new approach for formulating an alternative definition of personal data. It concludes that this approach better articulates the construction of data protection as a social good and a mechanism for (consumer) protection.

下一代隐私

摘要 近年来,欧盟 (EU) 内外的研究都集中在不断扩大的个人数据范围上。所提供的分析主要支持这样的结论,即个人数据将变得无处不在,以至于欧盟数据保护法将变得毫无意义、不合理,甚至失去信誉和被忽视。尽管有这些批评,欧盟法律被宣传为数据保护法的“黄金标准”,许多非欧盟国家正在迅速采用该法律,包括其对个人数据的定义。本文的目的是分析欧盟法律下个人数据的概念,并探索其在快速全球化和技术不断发展的数据保护框架内的持续相关性。文章认为,欧盟法律,尤其是其对个人数据的定义远未反映数据保护的普遍概念,而是反映了一种欧洲特有的隐私观念。它还进一步认为,技术的最新发展要求重新审视个人数据的概念,并要求拥有新生数据保护制度的国家采取更关键的方法。该文章提出了“情境伤害的客观风险”作为制定个人数据替代定义的一种新方法。它的结论是,这种方法更好地阐明了将数据保护建设为一种社会商品和(消费者)保护机制。它还进一步认为,技术的最新发展要求重新审视个人数据的概念,并要求拥有新生数据保护制度的国家采取更关键的方法。该文章提出了“情境伤害的客观风险”作为制定个人数据替代定义的一种新方法。它的结论是,这种方法更好地阐明了将数据保护建设为一种社会商品和(消费者)保护机制。它还进一步认为,技术的最新发展要求重新审视个人数据的概念,并要求拥有新生数据保护制度的国家采取更关键的方法。该文章提出了“情境伤害的客观风险”作为制定个人数据替代定义的一种新方法。它的结论是,这种方法更好地阐明了将数据保护建设为一种社会商品和(消费者)保护机制。
