{"title":"Australia’s Consumer Data Right and the uncertain role of information privacy law","authors":"Mark Burdon, Tom Mackie","doi":"10.1093/idpl/ipaa008","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/idpl/ipaa008","url":null,"abstract":"Data portability rights are viewed by policymakers worldwide as a significant legal innovation to stimulate competitive digital economies. These rights allow consumers and businesses to seamlessly receive and transfer data for commercialization and efficiency purposes. The newly implemented Australian Consumer Data Right (CDR) provides an illuminating example of the complex relationship between information privacy and competition law which is central to data portability initiatives. The CDR grants consumers and businesses access and transfer rights for consumer data in the Australian banking, energy, and telecommunications sectors, through the implementation of mandated API standards. There are three policy vectors at the heart of the CDR that parallel previous Australian, UK, and EU data portability developments. They are the type of regulated data covered by the CDR scheme, privacy and security protections and the overarching regulatory framework. We argue that the CDR, and its antecedents, primarily construct data portability as a competition law measure. However, while the general policy intention of the CDR is clear, we contend that the scheme reveals an uncertain role for information privacy law as part of its operation. Uncertainty is evident in how policymakers have considered the information privacy law issues inherent in the three policy vectors. We contend that the CDR could give rise to definitional problems with regulated data, duplicated privacy and security protections and a conceptually challenging regulatory framework. In conclusion, we suggest potential solutions that would assist with the operation of the CDR within Australia’s broader information privacy law framework, governed by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), which would also better align with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).","PeriodicalId":51749,"journal":{"name":"International Data Privacy Law","volume":"13 1","pages":"222-235"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85503740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Christakis, Fabien Terpan","doi":"10.1093/IDPL/IPAA022","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/IDPL/IPAA022","url":null,"abstract":"The EU and the US kicked off negotiations in September 2019 for the conclusion of a very important agreement on LEA access to data. This is the first article to present the context of these negotiations and the numerous challenges surrounding them. \u0000There are strong divergences between the EU and the US about what the scope and the architecture of this agreement should be. The US government supports the conclusion of a “framework agreement” with the EU to be followed by bilateral agreements with EU Member States – in order to satisfy CLOUD Act requirements. The EU wishes to arrive at a self-standing, EU-wide comprehensive agreement and is opposed to solutions that might lead to fragmentation and unequal treatment between EU Member States. \u0000This article presents a detailed EU Law perspective on all these issues, and refers to relevant precedents concerning the conclusion of law enforcement, data-related or other international agreements. It discusses the division of competence on e-evidence between the EU and its Members States; possible architecture for the agreement and options under EU Law; and the role of the respective European Institutions (Commission, Council, Parliament) in the negotiation and conclusion of such an agreement. \u0000The article also studies, using existing case law, what the role of the CJEU could be in relation to such an EU-US e-evidence Agreement. \u0000The article will be useful to anyone interested in transatlantic data flows as well as judicial cooperation matters and, beyond its specific scope, could be used as a real “guide” to EU Law procedures, options and precedents in relation to the conclusion of international data-related agreements. \u0000 \u0000NB: This is a pre-copyedited, preprint version of an article accepted for publication in International Data Privacy Law following peer review.
