Can Personal Data Be Used As Payment For Free Online Services? (Squire Patton Boggs)
On 14 March 2017, the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) issued its Opinion on the protection of personal data when it is used in lieu of payment for “free” online services. The EDPS is an independent EU body responsible for advising the EU institutions on data protection matters.
The Opinion was issued following a request by the EU Council in regard to a package of legislative proposals on contracts for the supply of digital services (e.g. social media platforms and cloud computing services) and the online sale of digital goods (including films, computer programmes, mobile applications, etc.) Among the aims of the proposed directives is to provide protection to consumers who are required to disclose their personal data as a condition of the supply of “free” online services.
