Protecting Personal Data

Category: Regulation | Area of Effect: Customer Protection | Proposed by:Marxist Germany

---

The World Assembly,

Appalled by the lack of a resolution regarding data protection;

Recognising the individuals' right to privacy;

Believing that businesses should not be able to collect data from a customer without the explicit consent of that customer as this is clearly a violation of the right to privacy;

Noting that minors are not fully mentally mature and are not capable of taking decisions on their own without the help of their guardians;

Seeking to protect customers from exploitation by businesses;


Hereby,

1. Defines the following for the purpose of this resolution:
   
   1. A "Minor" as any sapient being under the age of majority;
   2. A "Guardian" as any legal guardian of a minor, or if none exist, the biological parent;
   3. "Personal Data" as any data that can be used to identify a sapient individual;
   4. A "User" as any sapient being who uses or has used the services of a business;
   
   
2. Prohibits:
   
   1. Businesses from storing the personal data of any minor without the explicit consent of their guardian except when the business cannot identify the user's age;
   2. Businesses from using personal data collected from any individual to cause harm or severe distress to the individual the data belongs to;
   3. Governments of member states from viewing the data of a user without the explicit prior consent from both the business holding the data and the user that the data belongs to, except when the information is needed for a criminal investigation or trial and a search warrant has been issued;
   
   
3. Mandates that:
   
   1. Businesses provide explicit information on how they will use a user's data in their terms of service;
   2. Businesses enable users to view the data that the aforementioned business holds on them unless the release of data would compromise the well-being of the user or others;
   3. Personal data processed for any purpose is not kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose unless the user consents to that explicitly and clearly;
   4. Businesses allow users to request the removal of their personal data, and act upon these requests unless there is a clear and very compelling safety or disciplinary reason to do otherwise;
   
   
4. Requires that member states make a private right of action against businesses that don't follow the boundaries established in this resolution;
   
   
5. Encourages member states to enact stricter laws to protect their citizens' privacy from businesses.

OOC
"corporations" =/= "businesses"

OOC:Noted.

[Hatzisland]

In full support. I authored a very similar proposal, called "Right To Privacy", but it failed to receive adequate support. This is a great start, and I hope this plan gets passed. HOWEVER, I have one big concern with the language of clause 3e. "e. Corporations allow users to request the deletion of their data from the storage of the corporation completely." Under the language of the plan, anyone can request the data be deleted, but companies/businesses are not required to comply. You should change the language to require compliance.

“2c makes no exceptions for a criminal trial with pertinent information, which I regard as a rather major flaw.”

[Hatzisland]

“2c makes no exceptions for a criminal trial with pertinent information, which I regard as a rather major flaw.”

I agree. The law should clarify that the government getting a warrant in a criminal trial is excluded.

2a potentially bans all interactions between children and businesses without prior written permission.

2b bans businesses from handing over CCTV images of crimes being committed to police. Also, what's a user?

2c assumes that police don't investigate crimes and just go straight to trial.

3a - who cares how the data will be "handled"? How it will be used is far more relevant.

3c - What about tax law? Governments have legitimate reason to require business to hold their books of account for a number of years after the accounting period. Such records often include the names of customers, suppliers, employees etc.

3d - informed consent to information sharing should not be abolished by the WA. If you don't like what Facebook do with your data, don't use it. Or perhaps find a paid service where you can call the shots on account of being a paying customer.

3e - So the "user" can rock up and walk into the server room and start deleting files?

“I think there needs to be some clarification on what types of data a company can collect from a minor without the guardian’s permission. For example, an anonymous survey given to all users might be impossible to check legal age. Likewise, I don’t think just recording that a child logged into a website should require the guardian’s permission.”

OOC:Recording that someone logged into a website isn't personal data

OOC:Recording that someone logged into a website isn't personal data

OOC: It usually contains your IP address, which pretty much is, unless you're using a public computer/roaming WiFi/both.

I would recommend changing the language of clause 2b: "[Prohibits] Businesses from using personal data collected from a user to cause harm or distress to the user the data belongs to..." For me, companies collecting any information on me makes me "distressed." I suggest you either reword the clause, remove that part of the clause, or say "severe distress."

OOC: I would appreciate it if I got the opinion of half of Gensec before submitting this not that I'm submitting this before at least a week has passed

Change the title or else bad things will happen.

Maybe 'Protecting Personal Data'? I'm not very good at titles, you can probably think of a better one.

OOC: I like your alternative name, but why "will bad things happen?"

Category: Repeal
Resolution: 459
Author: Lord Dominator

The World Assembly,

Applauding the efforts of the target resolution to improve health by reducing smoking and related issues,

Reminding itself that passed resolutions cannot be amended to resolve errors,

Concerned that the recently passed resolution permits member nations to abide by its requirements without in fact translating warnings into a language understandable by the local populace, as the language used repeatedly in the target is inherently optional,

Further concerned that members with governments appropriately disposed to tobacco corporations can therefore abide by the text of the target while also taking little useful action towards teaching their populations the harms of tobacco and smoke inhalation,

Believing that interpretation of the word "should" by national or international tribunals to invoke requirement would be an unprecedented shift in the interpretation of World Assembly statutes that would fundamentally shift the relationship between the Assembly and its constituent members so to engender incredible overreach,

Further believing that this makes unavailable to the Assembly the ability to recommend which also also effectively eliminates the scope for discretion under WA resolutions,

Observing that not all member member nations are composed of species harmed by the targeted products and believing such to be an unnecessary overreach,

Further observing that the educational requirements would cause waste of resources in nations where tobacco use is low or non-existent,

Hopefully consigning to private essays rather than General Assembly resolutions titles starting with the word "On",

Certain that action will be taken by delegations committed to reducing smoking and similar issues in the eventuality of repeal,

Repeals "On Tobacco and Electronic Cigarettes".

But don't change 'On Pets', that's too iconic.

Thank you. However, that proposal has failed terribly.

OOC: That is one of the many reasons why.
