Amplifying Privacy: Scaling Up Transparency Research Through Delegated Access Requests
arXiv - CS - Computers and Society Pub Date : 2021-06-12 , DOI: arxiv-2106.06844
Hadi Asghari, Thomas van Biemen, Martijn Warnier

In recent years, numerous studies have used 'data subject access requests' in a collective manner, to tackle information asymmetries and shed light on data collection and privacy practices of organizations. While successful at increasing transparency, such studies are quite hard to conduct for the simple fact that right of access is an individual right. This means that researchers have to recruit participants and guide them through the often-cumbersome process of access. In this paper, we present an alternative method: to ask participants to delegate their right of access to the researchers. We discuss the legal grounds for doing this, the advantages it can bring to both researchers and data subjects, and present a procedural and technical design to execute it in a manner that ensures data subjects stay informed and in charge during the process. We tested our method in a pilot study in the Netherlands, and found that it creates a win-win for both the researchers and the participants. We also noted differences in how data controllers from various sectors react to such requests and discuss some remaining challenges.

放大隐私:通过委托访问请求扩大透明度研究

近年来,许多研究以集体方式使用“数据主体访问请求”来解决信息不对称问题并阐明组织的数据收集和隐私实践。尽管在提高透明度方面取得了成功,但由于访问权是一项个人权利这一简单事实,此类研究很难进行。这意味着研究人员必须招募参与者并指导他们完成通常繁琐的访问过程。在本文中,我们提出了一种替代方法:要求参与者将他们的访问权委托给研究人员。我们讨论了这样做的法律依据,它可以给研究人员和数据主体带来的好处,并提出程序和技术设计,以确保数据主体在此过程中保持知情和负责的方式执行它。我们在荷兰的一项试点研究中测试了我们的方法,发现它为研究人员和参与者创造了双赢的局面。我们还注意到来自不同部门的数据控制者如何对此类请求做出反应的差异,并讨论了一些剩余的挑战。
