Protecting Personal Data: A Model Data Security And Breach Notifications Statute, Michael Bloom
Protecting Personal Data: A Model Data Security And Breach Notifications Statute, Michael Bloom
St. John's Law Review
(Excerpt)
This Note argues that current law is inadequate to protect consumers in light of the prevalence and severity of data breaches in recent years, and that a unifying federal legislation combining portions of state law and the DSBNA should be enacted. Part I of this Note analyzes the DSBNA for notification requirements when data breaches occur, the requirements for the implementation of security policies, regulatory mechanisms for monitoring compliance with these requirements, and criminal penalties for failing to comply. Part II summarizes the various state laws that exist for notification of data breaches. Part III proposes a model federal …

Forget Me, Forget Me Not: Elements Of Erasure To Determine The Sufficiency Of A Gdpr Article 17 Request, Haya Yaish
Journal of Law, Technology, & the Internet
The data subject’s (or the individual to whom the data relates) right to erasure under the new EU’s data protection law is likely to cause tensions with the right to freedom of expression. Using Article 17(1)(d)-(e) of the General Data Protection Regulation as a nexus to trigger and apply the right to privacy in EU law to the right to erasure, this Note presents a balancing test of four factors that can be used to consistently determine whether individual cases that request a right to erasure for published material are entitled to privacy protections. The proposed balancing test “Elements of …

Is The Grass Greener On The Other Side Of The Geofence: The First Amendment And Privacy Implications Of Unauthorized Smartphone Messages, Kearston L. Wesner
Journal of Law, Technology, & the Internet
Geofencing technology enables companies to obtain users’ physical location and deliver customized communications, including political messages. But to accomplish this, some businesses transmit user data to third parties without consent. The privacy tort of intrusion and Federal Trade Commission actions target unfair or deceptive practices, but these avenues are inadequate. Users’ privacy should be safeguarded by creating a federal privacy statute that requires opt-in notification and periodic reminders of data collection, usage, and transmission practices.

Forensic Border Searches After Carpenter Require Probable Cause And A Warrant, Christopher I. Pryby
Forensic Border Searches After Carpenter Require Probable Cause And A Warrant, Christopher I. Pryby
Michigan Law Review
Under the border search doctrine, courts have upheld the federal government's practice of searching people and their possessions upon entry into or exit from the United States, without any requirement of suspicion, as reasonable under the Fourth Amendment. Since the advent of electronic devices with large storage capacities, courts have grappled with whether this definition of reasonableness continues to apply. So far, courts have consistently characterized “nonforensic” border inspections of electronic devices (for example, paging through photos on a phone) as “routine” searches that, like inspecting luggage brought across international lines, require no suspicion. But there is a circuit split …
