Big Data and Personal Data Protection in the Age of Surveillance Capitalism
Jirásková, Kristýna ; Slavíček, Daniel (advisor) ; Gvoždiak, Vít (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the topic of personal data protection in the age of surveillance capitalism, relying on the General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR. It presents, first of all, what can be imagined by the term Big Data, since the protection of personal data consists in the constant collection of all data, among which there are personal data. In the context of this issue, the various risks of data collection and processing will be discussed. Then, attention is given to surveillance capitalism, i.e. not only the definition, but also what it consists of and what pitfalls come with it. Above all, this paper seeks to answer the question of what role the GDPR currently plays in relation to data protection, i.e. whether it is successful or not, which of course cannot be done without a more detailed analysis of this legal document. To this end, the thesis will focus on selected examples from practice that should help to answer the question posed. Key words Surveillance Studies, surveillance, Big Data, surveillance capitalism, GDPR, protection of personal data, social media

Dobiášová, Lucie ; Morávek, Jakub (advisor) ; Lang, Roman (referee)
The issue of the use of biometric data in labour relations Abstract This diploma thesis deals with the current topic of the legal framework for the protection of biometric data in the context of labour relations. With the development of information technology, interest in the use of biometric data is growing. It is becoming common in the workplace that the biometric data are used, among others, for recording attendance, gaining access either to the workplace itself or to the individual work equipment. Their use is simple and convenient, as employees can use for verification their fingerprints, iris scans, etc. However, biometric data are inherently unchangeable, which is an advantage as well as the Achilles heel of their processing. Therefore, due to their nature, they fall into the category of sensitive personal data and as such enjoy enhanced protection. Development in the field of information technology suggests that biometric data are highly likely to become part of everyday life. Hence, it is more than appropriate for this development to be reflected in the legislation. The aim of this diploma thesis is to provide a general insight into the issue of using biometric data in the labour relations, where a particularly high increase in their use can be expected. The first part of this thesis acquaints the...

Blatt, Patrik ; Dušek, Libor (advisor) ; Montag, Josef (referee)
The Protection of Privacy on the Internet: a Law and Economics Perspective Abstract The topic of this thesis is protection of privacy on the Internet, further narrowed down to the matter of granting consent to store and process cookies and looking at it specifically from the perspective of law and economics. The aim of this paper is to answer the question of whether the current legislation of granting permission to process cookies is sufficient and user-friendly. To answer this question, the thesis was based on interpretation of the results of a survey about using cookies, conducted on selected Czech websites, namely those of central authorities of the Czech Republic, Czech news portals and Czech online shopping stores. Furthermore, the thesis proposes specific changes within current legislation of processing cookies. Because of the transposition of Directive on privacy and electronic communications into the legal order of the Czech Republic, the policy of granting consent to the storing and processing of personal data has changed from the original opt-out policy to the current opt-in policy. The current opt-in policy requires a preceding user's consent. In this thesis, I conclude that applying this opt-in policy has lowered the user-friendly settings and that it did not lead to any improvement of...
