The Contemporary Issues of Post-Mortem Personal Data Protection in the EU after GDPR entering into Force

Original language description

This research will be devoted to the analysis of problematic aspects and contemporary challenges of post-mortem personal data protection in the framework of the EU after the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter - the GDPR) 1 entered into force. In the legal literature this research topic is still poorly understood despite the fact that the issue of personal data protection, especially after GDPR entered into force, remains one of the most relevant and controversial topics of scientific research in EU and human rights law. The relevance of this research is primarily due to the fact that the amount of processed personal data on the Internet is growing dynamically, and technological progress is exacerbating this process. On the one hand, the processing of personal data of a deceased person is often left to the whim of Internet service providers, but on the other hand, the issue of protecting the posthumous reputation and privacy of the deceased, as well as the moral interests of the relatives come to the fore. In this context, the following questions arise: What happens to a person&apos;s personal data after his death? What risks does the EU legislator&apos;s policy on post-mortem data protection contain? Is there any need to protect post-mortem personal data at the EU level, and if so, what approach may be the most effective and reasonable for the EU? In this study, taking into account the theoretical approaches of researchers, as well as the legal practice of the EU Member States and the judicial practice of the European Court of Justice (hereinafter – the CJEU) and the European Court of Human Rights (hereinafter – the ECtHR), the authors aim to find reasoned answers to the above questions, as well as propose solutions to existing problems in the specified area of law
