Colloquium 2010: What’s left of your privacy in 2010…
28/12/2009
Protecting privacy against government and employer

Privacy, the individual’s right to respect for his/her private life and home, confidentiality of mail are fundamental defensive rights against state interference. In the workplace as well there is a limit for the employer to meddling with the privacy of an employee. Every Belgian is listed in about 300 databases, from the “Rijksregister-Registre national” to the e-health platform. Is there anything left of our privacy? New technology and the post- 9/11 climate of government monitoring have heavily strained these “sacred rights”.

Today, George Orwell’s big brother society is no longer fiction. The Colloquium will give an outline of privacy in the year 2010. Is art. 8 ECHR still being honoured?

Data protection laws do exist, but what is their practical impact? Where is the limit to privacy in an employment relationship? Which databases in Belgium and Europe are recording you actions en how do these databases exchange information?

The Colloquium will also point out which legal means can be used to protect privacy. We will refer to the ECHR jurisprudence as well as domestic and international experience.

Speakers are professors, lawyers, jurists and union representatives from Belgium, Europe and the US.

Distinguished guest speakers:

Peter Hustinx, European Data Protection Supervisor will throw light on the European situation.

US lawyer Mara Verheyden Hilliard will speak on the erosion of privacy in her country.

For Progress Lawyers Network will be speaking Raf Jespers, author of “Big Brother in Europe” (Epo 2010).
