Location Based Services and the e-Privacy directive

FROM EUROPEAN COMMISSION WEBSITE

Location-based services have developed a lot in the recent past. In 2002, the e-privacy Directive 2002/58/EC established for the first time specific rules to be followed for the processing of location data. These rules, together with the general data protection directive 95/46/EC, have been transposed in most Member States. The workshop aims to investigate – together with industry, data protection authorities and consumer associations – the current practices and legal challenges that operators and users are confronted with when offering or using location-based services.
