Data Protection Law is a much-discussed
legal approach to protect privacy and personal data. Its implications are
highly relevant in a society which is shaped by online communication, big data
analyses and monopolies of social-media platforms. We will examine the history,
principles, and constitutional aspects of Data Protection, emphasizing the
impact of new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence. Besides the
European approach of the GDPR towards privacy, we will explore the
international comprehension of Data Protection as well as the different
national legal strategies from a comparative point of view. The aim of the
course is to combine theoretical legal aspects with the practical impacts of
Data Protection.
