Soukupová, Jana ; Svobodová, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Vondráčková, Aneta (referee)
The Possibilities of the Use of Facial Recognition Technology in the Context of Personal Data Protection in the EU Abstract This thesis focuses on the data protection connected to the use of facial recognition technology in the EU. In particular, the purpose of the thesis is to assess under which circumstances and conditions the use of this technology complies with the GDPR. Marginally, the thesis addresses the risks and benefits of facial recognition technology. The thesis is divided into three parts. The first part examines the general data protection framework in the EU, with an emphasis on the protection of biometric data. The aim of this part is to outline the main legal background regarding the protection of biometric data and the general principles of data processing. In particular, the author criticizes the legal definition of biometric data, which does not correspond to the technological reality, and which may be problematic in the case of the application of Article 9 of the GDPR. The second part of the thesis is devoted to facial recognition technology itself, its different types, and applications. An understanding of the technology itself is crucial within this thesis for the correct application of the legal framework. The author also finds it necessary to examine the reasons why this technology...

Tkadlec, Matěj ; Morávek, Jakub (advisor) ; Koldinská, Kristina (referee)
PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION UNDER THE GDPR WITH FOCUS ON EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP AND BIOMETRICS ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on the very complex and legally complicated issue of personal data protection in the period since the GDPR Directive came into force, i.e. from May 2018 onwards. The adoption of this data protection regulation can certainly be described as one of the most pivotal moments in the history of European legislation, as there has never before been a unifying regulation so extensive that it forced all Member States to regulate such a peculiar area in exactly the same way. For this reason alone, both before and after the GDPR came into force, the topic of data protection has been the subject of numerous debates, as the regulation in question has brought about many significant changes that were previously unprecedented in the field of data protection. The purpose of this work was not to comprehensively discuss all these new institutes, rights and obligations and other parameters of the GDPR, but to describe only the most important ones in detail and then to focus on their specifics in employment relations, with a focus on biometrics. For this reason, the second part of the thesis first focuses on the situations in which an employer is obliged to process the personal data of its employees or...

The issue of the use of biometric data in labour relations
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...

Jansa, Tomáš ; Kunertová, Tereza (advisor) ; Exner, Jan (referee)
Data protection in the EU - Biometric data The main aim of this thesis is to deal with the data protection in connection with the biometric data. In the first chapter, the author of this work deals with the historical context. The right to privacy even nowadays represents the solid ground of the data protection. Therefore, its de- limitation and subsequent connection with the data privacy is of an upmost importance for a proper understanding of this problematics. The author also deals with the data protection not only in the european context, but also with the disunited legislation in the US, where a legisla- tion in the context of general data protection regulation is absent. The second chapter mainly dealt with stating the general legal principles and their rel- evance to the legal order as well as with the special principles laid down in the regulation, which are mandatory to be upheld. The third chapter dealt with the term of personal data. Moreover, it was also important to define the other terms, which goes hand in hand with the personal data term. Therefore, anonymous data as a personal data, which went through the anonymisation process, as well as the special category of personal data, which represents the fundament of the problematics of the biometric data and lastly also the term of data...
