What is PII? The term comes from United States federal practice. The most cited formulation appears in NIST Special Publication 800-122, published April 2010, which frames PII as information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity, either alone or combined with other linkable information. Does it land different within GDPR ? #GDPR #privacy #data #EU #EDPD #dataprotection https://privacyinsightsolutions.com/blog/what-is-pii-personal-data-gdpr

Aufwachen! Der Cloud-Act ist Realität.

Zitat aus dem Artikel: "Nach Angaben des Berichts des niederländischen Magazins Vrij Nederland übermittelte Microsoft unter anderem E-Mails, Sitzungsprotokolle und Einladungen an US-Behörden, offenbar ohne die Namen der beteiligten Beamten zu schwärzen.

A friendly reminder: When you're building some tech for others to use, please start thinking about privacy before you write even one line of code! Believe me, treating privacy as one of the last boxes you have to check before your tech goes live almost always causes trouble. And it probably will make everyone involved - including you - miserable. Building privacy-respecting tech gets easier the sooner you start thinking about it. -- #privacy #DataProtection #GDPR #ResponsibleTech

interesting judgement regarding GDPR, and I agree. applies to the #fediverse i believe, and protects fediverse admins # Facts "A data subject published a post concerning their ADHD diagnosis on a publicly accessible online forum under a pseudonym. A person (the controller) who was a follower of the data subject and had previously been in personal contact with them, knew that the pseudonym belonged to the data subject. The controller subsequently sent a WhatsApp message to a mutual acquaintance stating that the data subject had received an ADHD diagnosis and included a link to the forum post. The data subject lodged a complaint with the Austrian DPA (DSB), arguing that their health data had been disclosed to a third party. They alleged that the controller by forwarding the pseudonymous forum profile, had unequivocally linked it to their real identity." # Holding "The [Data Protection Authority (in Austria)] held that the data subject was identifiable to the controller as regards the publication of the forum post under her profile name. Since the post also included information concerning her gender, age and diagnosis, it concluded that it constituted her personal data under Article 4(1) GDPR. The DPA further held that the prohibition on processing special categories of personal data under Article 9(1) GDPR did not apply because the data subject had manifestly made their health data public within the meaning of Article 9(2)(e) GDPR. It reasoned that actively disclosing the ADHD diagnosis in a publicly accessible forum constituted an unambiguous and conscious act by which the data subject made the information available to the public. The DPA therefore dismissed the complaint as unfounded." https://gdprhub.eu/index.php?title=DSB_(Austria)_-_2025-0.968.031 #mastoadmin #lawfedi #gdpr

As the EU doesnt have a data broker registry, we have extracted the framework to identify possible databrokers . The study researched data brokers within Belgium, the methodology developed is designed to be transferable. We made it into a usable how to so you can discover data broker on your own, or help people to opt out. #privacy #privacymatters #EU #europe #GDPR #databrokers https://privacyinsightsolutions.com/blog/how-to-identify-data-brokers-eu (original from Data Brokers Market Study, by Ruben d'Hauwers EPDB 2026 "the methodology developed and applied in this study is designed to be transferable and may serve as a valuable reference for other supervisory authorities across the EU wishing to conduct similar investigations")

Next time someone tries to convince you that their local slop machine is "privacy friendly" and "fully GDPR-compliant", ask them to try this: Take a glass of water. Pour it into the sea. Extract the same water from the sea again. The same goes for our data once they're fed to a slop machine. There's nothing privacy friendly about the complete loss of control over our information. Running a slop machine locally doesn't change anything. -- #privacy #DataProtection #GDPR #LLMs #StopTheSlop

Lacking proper arms-length from the UK government, the ICO hasn't properly supervised public bodies, allowing data malpractices to spread. This is clear in the failure to take action over the MoD's Afghan data breach, the Home Office's flawed eVisa scheme and HMRC's unjust crackdown on child benefits. #ico #dataprotection #privacy #gdpr #ukpolitics #ukpol

Despite recognising that automated systems expose workers to heightened risks of discrimination and wage-theft, the ICO has taken no enforcement action. The outgoing Commissioner even backed down to let UK data protection reforms gut our right not to be subject to solely automated decision-making. #ico #dataprotection #privacy #gdpr #ukpolitics #ukpol

The ICO has actively pushed for age verification measures in the UK at the expense of privacy. This fails to address the repurposing of personal data from age checks for targeted online advertising. In turn, advertising data is used to drive up engagement, exploit addictions and target harmful content. #ico #dataprotection #privacy #gdpr #ukpolitics #ukpol

The meltdown of the UK data regulator's leadership underscores the need to restore integrity at the top. This starts with an end to the revolving door of senior staff working for the industries or companies that they were meant to police. Establishing proper boundaries against corporate influence is necessary. #ico #dataprotection #privacy #gdpr #ukpolitics #ukpol

The ICO needs an overhaul of its regulatory and enforcement posture. The UK government has an opportunity to restore effective oversight of data protection rule. It's essential for trustworthy public sector delivery, innovation that benefits workers, and a digital economy that works for the public. #ico #dataprotection #privacy #gdpr #ukpolitics #ukpol

Data protection is key to regulate AI and promote online safety, child protection workers’ rights and public service delivery. Without proper regulation and policing of data practices, harms ensue, public trust erodes and markets fail. That's why we need a UK data regulator with teeth.

Is the UK data regulator is without a head. But its problems run deeper 🚧 The ICO has taken its hands off the wheel by failing to enforce data protection law for a long time. As the search for a new Commissioner gets underway, the ICO needs a fundamental reset that puts our rights first.

Last week we sent a letter signed by 20 organisations calling for an investigation into the UK data regulator for failings over the eVisa scheme. Despite issues with the scheme being raised from the start, the ICO hasn't taken action against the UK Home Office to protect migrants' data rights. We need answers. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/evisa-digital-data-regulator-ico-home-office-b3006643.html #ico #evisa #homeoffice #dataprotection #gdpr #migrants #ukpolitics #ukpol
