This week, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy organized the Digital Summit 2019 in Dortmund. In this context, a concept for a GDPR Code of Conduct on pseudonymization, which we helped to develop, was published. Also, the official recommendations of the data-ethics-commission, a multi-stakeholder working group installed by the German government advising on the ethical use of data, were presented at the summit. Our take: we welcome the direct recommendation for credible self- and co-regulatory tools outlined in the report.
Happy reading,
Your SCOPE Europe Team.
Pseudonymization Code of Conduct
The appropriate use of pseudonymization can safeguard the privacy rights of individuals, while enabling organizations to develop innovative, data-driven products. In this context, the focus group on data protection of the Digital Summit drafted a concept for a Code of Conduct specifying the use of GDPR compliant pseudonymization. As SRIW is involved in this project, we look forward to the further developments and the next steps of this initiaitve.
