[MyData & Open Data] we have a price: 11KEUR/personal medical data

[Sally Deffor]

Hi Rayna,
I don't have any examples of specific cases of campaigning for the
monetisation of personal data like you mentioned, but a couple of weeks ago
I shared this post
<http://www.horizon.ac.uk/News/dutch-student-sells-his-data-for-350-but-at-what-price-privacy?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter>about
someone putting all his data up for auction. I also thought it was a
worrying trend as your personal data could inevitably be linked to that of
others. I anticipate some legal wrangles to emerge if such a legislation
were to come into force, without appropriate protection for linked parties.

Sally
