Data Subject Rights: facts, figures, design, practice.

Data Subject Rights are a given in the data protection legislation (mainly Chapter III, but also part of Chapter VIII of the GDPR; rights under the Patients Rights legislation, etc.).

Data controllers have to organise themselves so they can appropriately respond to a data subject's request, they have to inform the data subjects of their rights (art. 13-14 GDPR), go for processes and technology that respects and embeds those rights (art. 25 GDPR, maybe set up arrangements with data processors on how those should support the data controller in case of such requests (art. 28 §3 GDPR), etc.

At this event the speakers will start from empirical findings on some of the data subject rights. The basis are two studies: on the "right to access" and one on the right to explanation of fully automated decisions.
From there the idea is to build on that in an interdisciplinary way to discuss the feasibility of existing solutions, and - why not? - laying the groundwork for further innovative approaches. How should tech be designed to the data protection by design? How to take into account human-computer interaction findings?
