- Abstract (Swedish)
- Ju mer digitaliserad vår värld blir, desto mer information om oss finns dokumenterad i data. Data är värdefull eftersom den berättar för företag om vilka intressen deras publik har, vilket gör att de kan förbättra sina kunders upplevelser. Utöver det ger hälsodata möjligheten att forska om och främja människors hälsa.
Dataskyddsförordningen (EU/2016/679) reglerar hur olika aktörer behandlar data inom EU. Förordningen särskiljer på olika typer av data, viss data klassificeras vara känsligare än annan och går under en särskild kategori. Art. 9(1) fastställer att sådana uppgifter avslöjar ras eller etniskt ursprung, politiska åsikter, religiös eller filosofisk övertygelse eller medlemskap i fackförening och behandling av genetiska...

Dataskyddsförordningen (EU/2016/679) reglerar hur olika aktörer behandlar data inom EU. Förordningen särskiljer på olika typer av data, viss data klassificeras vara känsligare än annan och går under en särskild kategori. Art. 9(1) fastställer att sådana uppgifter avslöjar ras eller etniskt ursprung, politiska åsikter, religiös eller filosofisk övertygelse eller medlemskap i fackförening och behandling av genetiska uppgifter, biometriska uppgifter för att entydigt identifiera en fysisk person, uppgifter om hälsa eller uppgifter om en fysisk persons sexualliv eller sexuella läggning. Dessa är enligt huvudregeln förbjudna att behandla, men kan undantas med grund i artikel 9(2).
Uppsatsen utmanar Dataskyddsförordningens tolkning av art. 9(2)(j) och kommer att beskriva de rättsliga möjligheterna att behandla tidigare insamlad hälsodata för vetenskapliga forskningsändamål och hur det påverkar den registrerades skydd samt rätten till dataskydd. Dessutom analysera hur Dataskyddsförordningen balanserar de registrerades rättigheter och intressen för att främja vetenskap och hälsa.
Art. 9(2)(j) tillåter behandling av personlig data för vetenskapliga forskningsändamål. Vad som inbegrips under begreppet vetenskapliga forskningsändamål tolkas brett och därför kan kommersiell vetenskaplig forskning komma att täckas in under betydelsen. Dock måste man visa att man använder lämpliga vetenskapliga metoder och främjar ett allmänt intresse i enlighet med art. 89(1). Den breda definitionen ger utrymme för att vetenskaplig forskning frodas, dock med en mindre bekostnad av individens rättigheter och integritet.
Ett av dataskyddsförordningens syften är att stärka individens rättigheter, men på grund av att regleringen i art. 9(2)(j) inte är tydlig och precis får vi utrymme för missbruk. Kommersiella företag ges möjligheten i förordningens breda definition av vetenskaplig forskning och i bristen på övervakning att behandla data utan samtycke. (Less) - Abstract (Swedish)

The Data Protection Regulation (EU/2016/679) regulates how different actors process and manage data within the EU. The regulation distinguishes between different types of data, some data is considered more sensitive than other and falls under a specific category. Article 9(1) provides that such information discloses racial or ethnic origin, political views, religious or philosophical beliefs or membership in the trade union and the processing of genetic data, biometric data to unambiguously identify a natural person, health information or information of a physical person's sexual life or sexual orientation. These are generally prohibited from processing, but are exempted on the basis of Article 9(2).
The essay problematizes GDPR's interpretations and will describe what the legal opportunities are to handle previously collected health data for scientific research purposes and how it affects the data subjects 'protection and the right to data protection, furthermore how the GDPR balance the data subjects' rights and interests in promoting science and health.
Art. 9(2)(j) allows processing of personal data for scientific research purposes. What is classified under the concept of scientific research purposes is broadly interpreted and commercial scientific research may therefore be covered, however, it must be shown that appropriate scientific methods are used and that they promote a general interest in accordance with art. 89(1). The broad definition provides room for scientific research to thrive, however, at a small expense to the individual's rights and privacy.
One of the GDPR´s purposes is to strengthen the rights of the individual and to still ensure that different research areas are not unnecessarily limited by data protection laws. However by not making the regulation in art. 9(2)(j) clear and precise room is given for misuse. Commercial companies are given the opportunity in the regulation's broad definition of scientific research and in the lack of supervision to process data without consent. (Less)
