Section 4.2 of the Department of Justice Act requires the Minister of Justice to prepare a Charter Statement for every government bill to help inform public and Parliamentary debate on government bills. One of the Minister of Justice’s most important responsibilities is to examine legislation for inconsistency with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms [“the Charter”]. By tabling a Charter Statement, the Minister is sharing some of the key considerations that informed the review of a bill for inconsistency with the Charter. A Statement identifies Charter rights and freedoms that may potentially be engaged by a bill and provides a brief explanation of the nature of any engagement, in light of the measures being proposed. A Charter Statement also identifies potential justifications for any limits a bill may impose on Charter rights and freedoms. Section 1 of the Charter provides that rights and freedoms may be subject to reasonable limits if those limits are prescribed by law and demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society. This means that Parliament may enact laws that limit Charter rights and freedoms. The Charter will be violated only where a limit is not demonstrably justifiable in a free and democratic society. A Charter Statement is intended to provide legal information to the public and Parliament on a bill’s potential effects on rights and freedoms that are neither trivial nor too speculative. It is not intended to be a comprehensive overview of all conceivable Charter considerations. Additional considerations relevant to the constitutionality of a bill may also arise in the course of Parliamentary study and amendment of a bill. A Statement is not a legal opinion on the constitutionality of a bill.

Data Privacy Service Market Outlook

The global data privacy service market size was valued at USD 12.5 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 41.2 billion by 2032, growing at a robust CAGR of 14.1% during the forecast period. The increasing complexity of data breaches and stringent regulatory requirements are driving the growth of this market. Organizations worldwide are becoming more aware of the importance of data protection and privacy, leading to a surge in demand for comprehensive data privacy services.

One of the primary growth factors for the data privacy service market is the escalating frequency and sophistication of cyber-attacks. With the advent of advanced technologies, malicious entities have found new methods to infiltrate organizational networks and compromise sensitive data. Consequently, businesses are compelled to invest heavily in data privacy services to safeguard their information assets. Additionally, regulatory bodies across the globe are implementing stringent data protection laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States, which mandate organizations to adopt robust data privacy measures, further fueling market growth.

Another significant driver is the increasing adoption of cloud services and digital transformation initiatives. As more businesses migrate to cloud environments and digitize their operations, the risks associated with data breaches and unauthorized access escalate. Cloud service providers and organizations alike are investing in data privacy services to ensure compliance with regulatory standards and to build trust with their customers.

In this Data Literacy Snack we delve into the basics of privacy and data protection laws while focusing on the ever so relevant General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This European regulation has provided one of the world´s strongest set of data protection rules: enhancing the rights of the data subjects while imposing legal obligations not only onto companies but onto every person or organization dealing with (collecting, processing) personal data. Some of the main questions discussed in our session included: what are the key data protection principles to observe in a research project and how to comply with them?

This law sets out the principles, rules and mechanisms for managing the processing of personal data in a responsible, transparent and ethical manner, with the aim of protecting the rights of data subjects and promoting the investment environment, competition and development of national and international trade in the context of the digital economy and society.

The main project aims were to examine the human rights implications of rapidly developing technologies. As noted above, in an increasingly digitised world, technological developments and the collection, storage and use of 'big data' pose unprecedented challenges for the protection of human rights. The aim of the project was to examine the intersection of such technological developments and the ideals of human rights protection. The work focused on both positive and negative aspects of this relationship. As noted above, the core research aims were organised on these issues that cut across the threats and opportunities:1) How is the use of ICT and big data shaping the content and scope of rights? (2) How does the use of ICT and big data shape operational practices across state and non-state activities? What new theoretical questions and implications for human rights are generated? (3) What methodologies are needed to identify and document the misuse of modern technologies and the failure to comply with rights-based obligations? (4) How can the use of ICT and big data best support evidence-based approaches to human rights protection and advocacy? (5) What possibilities and limitations exist for regulating the collection, storage and use of ICT and big data by states and non-state actors? The deposited data largely focuses on interviews with law enforcement and security agency representatives about uses of digital technology. We found that an enthusiastic embrace of technnology often existed yet this was not always accompanied by the development of codes of practice, regulatory frameworks and operational guidence on how they should be used. In addition to a potential regulatory vacuum, such disconnects also placed additional burdens on law enforcement themselves as they sought to apply existing rules and regulations. This is something we have described in publications as 'surveillance arbitration'. We also include interviews with civil society actors and lawyers that interrogate these issues and associated digital rights campaigning matters in more detail.

As of February 2025, 19 states in the U.S. had state-level privacy laws signed. All signed laws protect the right of a consumer to access personal information collected by companies and shared with third parties. The first state-level privacy law proposed in California in 2018 had gaps, as it did not reference the consumer's right to request a correction of incorrect or outdated personal information and other rights. However, the second privacy law developed afterward in the state, the California Privacy Rights Act, was more comprehensive. Other consumer rights, such as the consumer's right to opt out of specific processing and the right to opt in for sensitive data processing, were rarely protected, too. Additionally, only one of the signed laws covered the consumer's private right of action, with certain limitations.

Daftar Referensi dan Hasil WawancaraThe increasing popularity of PayLater services in Indonesia’s digital financial ecosystem has raised significant concerns regarding the protection of consumer personal data. While these services offer convenience and broaden access to credit, they also involve the large-scale collection of sensitive personal information, including national ID numbers, financial records, and contact data, often without sufficient transparency or informed consent. This study applies a normative juridical approach to examine the effectiveness of existing legal instruments—specifically Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection, the Consumer Protection Law No. 8 of 1999, the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, and related OJK regulations (POJK No. 10/2022 and POJK No. 22/2023). Findings indicate substantial gaps between the legal framework and its enforcement, with many fintech providers operating without adequate internal data protection policies or clear accountability mechanisms. Real-world cases reveal that consumers frequently suffer from unauthorized transactions and misuse of personal data without effective recourse. This paper argues for the implementation of strict liability principles, the establishment of an integrated oversight framework, and improved legal literacy to ensure meaningful protection of personal data in PayLater services and promote a more accountable and rights-based digital economy.

Background: In the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) plays a central role in the complex health research legal framework. It aims to protect the fundamental right to the protection of individuals’ personal data, while allowing the free movement of such data. However, it has been criticized for challenging the conduct of research. Existing scholarship has paid little attention to the experiences and views of the patient community. The aim of the study was to investigate 1) the awareness and knowledge of patients, carers, and members of patient organizations about the General Data Protection Regulation, 2) their experience with exercising data subject rights, and 3) their understanding of the notion of “data control” and preferences towards various data control tools.Methods: An online survey was disseminated between December 2022 and March 2023. Quantitative data was analyzed descriptively and inferentially. Answers to open-ended questions were analyzed using the thematic analysis method.Results: In total, 220 individuals from 28 European countries participated. The majority were patients (77%). Most participants had previously heard about the GDPR (90%) but had not exercised any of their data subject rights. Individual data control tools appeared to be marginally more important than collective tools. The willingness of participants to share personal data with data altruism organizations increased if patient representatives would be involved in the decision-making processes of such organizations.Conclusion: The results highlighted the importance of providing in-depth education about data protection. Although participants showed a slight preference towards individual control tools, the reflection based on existing scholarship identified that individual control holds risks that could be mitigated through carefully operationalized collective tools. The discussion of results was used to provide a critical view into the proposed European Health Data Space, which has yet to find a productive balance between individual control and allowing the reuse of personal data for research.
