Beschreibung

Data Law is a rapidly evolving subject to which this course will give a thorough introduction. It starts with a brief overview of the different sources of law and their classification as national, European or international. Thereafter the various facets of the term “data” and different categories of data as well as the difficulties of differentiating between them are examined as a further foundation.
The primary focus of the lecture is a cross-linked introduction to the two main subject areas of data law:
The section on data protection provides an overview of the central legal sources – esp. the GDPR with the inclusion of fundamental rights at both European and national level – and shows the instruments used, in particular consent, fines and tortious damages.
The other main subject is the currently rapidly developing data market law. This subfield of data law firstly encompasses the topic of data usage and the data economy, which are legally linked to the recently enacted Data Act. Based on the legislative regulatory objective of artificially creating a market for machine-generated data, the lecture aims for an introduction to the instruments used for this purpose: In particular, there are various statutory access and transfer rights as well as a consensual contractual level, which is itself strictly regulated.
A cross-sectional view of the instruments of data law shows the variety of regulatory mechanisms used, such as information obligations, the control of general terms and conditions and issues of contract as well as tort law. If one adds to this the enforcement mechanisms under both civil and public law, it becomes clear that data law as a whole is a cross-section of different areas of law.
Finally, the international dimensions of data law will be analysed.

Topics covered:
• Sources of Data Law
• Definition and Different Categories of Data
• Protection of Personal Data (esp. GDPR)
• Data Market Law, esp. usability of Data and Data Economy (esp. Data Act)
• International Data Law
