This volume brings together papers that offer methodologies, conceptual analyses, highlight issues, propose solutions, and discuss practices regarding privacy and data protection. It is one of the results of the eight annual International Conference on Computers, Privacy, and Data Protection, CPDP 2015, held in Brussels January 2015.§§The book explores core concepts, rights and values in (upcoming) data protection regulation and their (in) adequacy in view of developments such as Big and Open Data, including the right to be forgotten, metadata, and anonymity. It discusses privacy promoting methods and tools such as a formal systems modeling methodology, privacy by design in various forms (robotics, anonymous payment), the opportunities and burdens of privacy self management, the differentiating role privacy can play in innovation.§The book also discusses EU policies with respect to Big and Open Data and provides advice to policy makers regarding these topics.§Attention is also being paid to regulation and its effects, for instance in case of the so-called 'EU-cookie law' and groundbreaking cases, such as Europe v. Facebook.§§This interdisciplinary book was written during what may turn out to be the final stages of the process of the fundamental revision of the current EU data protection law by the Data Protection Package proposed by the European Commission. It discusses open issues and daring and prospective approaches. It will serve as an insightful resource for readers with an interest in privacy and data protection.§
