Data Privacy: You May Call It Personal Data But Who Actually Owns It?
Experts continue to argue over the rights of states and businesses to access personal data – and who actually owns it, according to a report by ZDNet.
“In the commercial sphere, one argument says the investment by businesses in gathering and exploiting information about individuals gives them a degree of ownership over the data,” the article says.
“That investment should also have a bearing on what happens to the data once the relationship between the consumer and the business ends or the individual want to move that information elsewhere.”
