Event: Building Consistency for Open Science in Europe: Rhetoric and Practice
Title: How Citizen Science Can Add Value to Investigate Compliance of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Abstract:
We have “zero privacy” and should “get over it”. These are words uttered in 1999 by Sun Microsystems co-founder, Scott McNealy (Sprenger, 1999). CSI-COP disagree. Using a bottom-up approach to assess whether the informed consent and transparency elements in the GDPR are being complied with, specifically on websites and in apps on smart mobile devices, the CSI-COP EU Horizon2020 funded research and innovation project (grant agreement 873169) will engage, educate and inform recruited adults from the general public to become citizen scientists joining the project’s research team. In this talk the problem of near-ubiquitous online tracking will be presented.

Q&A Session
Q&A Session with Julien Roche, Dr. Huma Shah and Lightning Talks presenters
Chapter XXVIII: Ljubljana 10/11/2020
10:05 - 10:30
The Internet is plagued with Trackers
Article 1 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights states that “Human dignity is inviolable. It must be respected and protected”. Article 12 of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights includes this statement: “No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy … [or] correspondence.” In addition, the 2018 general data protection regulation (GDPR): “sets a high standard for consent” (ICO). This informed consent entails “offering individuals real choice and control” and “genuine consent should put individuals in charge, build trust and engagement”. The CSI-COP project will explore compliance of GDPR’s informed consent by leveraging citizen science methodology. With the project team, CSI-COP citizen scientists will investigate the extent to which our online privacy is compromised, and our human dignity is violated through digital tracking across the Internet in websites and in Android Apps.
