Abstract

Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has a fearsome reputation as “the law that can fine you €20 million.” But behind that scary slogan lies a text that can be a very helpful guide to designing data processing systems. This paper explores that side of the GDPR: how understanding it can produce more effective - and more trustworthy - systems. Three popular myths often take designers down the wrong track: that GDPR is about stopping processing, is about users, and is about consent. Instead we consider, from a design perspective, the GDPR’s source material, its Principles, and its Lawful Bases for processing. Three examples - from the field of education, but widely applicable - show how “thinking with GDPR” has improved both the effectiveness and safety of large-scale data processing systems.

用GDPR思考:更好的系统设计指南

欧洲的通用数据保护条例(GDPR)有着可怕的名声，被称为“可以罚你2000万欧元的法律”。但在这个可怕的口号背后，有一篇文章可以成为设计数据处理系统的非常有用的指南。本文探讨了GDPR的这一方面:如何理解它可以产生更有效和更值得信赖的系统。有三个流行的神话经常把设计师带入错误的轨道:GDPR是关于停止处理的，是关于用户的，是关于同意的。相反，我们从设计的角度考虑GDPR的原始材料，其原则及其处理的合法基础。三个例子——来自教育领域，但广泛适用——展示了“与GDPR一起思考”如何提高了大规模数据处理系统的有效性和安全性。
