[MyData & Open Data] existing legal frameworks of biometrics

Fri Apr 4 14:05:39 UTC 2014

On the contrary.  When your friend takes a picture of you, we have no
problem agreeing that personal data is involved and that we need to treat
it with care without having to immediately resolve whether it is your
friend's data or your data that is at stake.  Personal data is data that
distinguishes one person from another in any form.  Under the definitions
at http://personal-data.okfn.org/ I would include both My Data and
Transformed Data under the umbrella of personal data.  As privacy
researcher Arvind Narayanan has pointed out [1], "any information that
distinguishes one person from another can be used for re-identifying anon
data".

Kind regards... Steve
