Samenvatting presentatie
The emergence of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology provides the potential for vast and varied applications, bringing with it both promise and peril. RFID tags are used as the medium for the collection and transmission of personal data, as well as tracing devices for the location of natural persons. RFID applications raise significant legal considerations with regard to the privacy rights of individuals and create a number of obligations to the companies that process personal data. In this talk we are going to present the main privacy threats that arise from the widespread use of RFID technology and to illustrate the issues that have to be taken into consideration at the designing phase of an RFID application. The legislative initiatives on RFID in the European Union will be presented and the upcoming Privacy Impact Assessment for RFID applications will be discussed.
