Subject outline
Digital identities play an increasingly important role not only online, but in daily life. Our digital identities can include information we have shared online publicly, as well as private information held by companies, governments and other entities. These digital identities are increasingly used transnationally and may be created from data stored in various countries and subject to various privacy regimes. This subject explores key legal issues affecting our digital identity such as invasion of personal privacy, data protection and retention, surveillance and reputation management. It examines the legal frameworks and considers how an individual's right to control their online identity can be protected. Students will be introduced to comparative perspectives to the protection of privacy and digital identities drawing from UK, European Union and US legal systems.
