D11.6: Survey on Mobile Identity
The deliverable in hand provides the results of an explorative survey on the
control model for identity related data in location-based services (LBS)
presented in FIDIS deliverable D11.2.
The survey was performed to explore the influence of LBS characteristics (pull
vs. push based, indirect vs. direct profile creation) on the perceived amount of
control participants have about the disclosure of their identity.
Four scenarios, each reflected a different aspect of the control model, have been
designed and tested.
Conclusion
Location data processing is subject in Belgium to two different frameworks: the Data Protection Act and the Electronic Communications Act. The latter will only apply to the processing of location data obtained from a public electronic network. However, the spread of Location Based Services based on the localisation of third party’s mobile phones have raised other issues apart from the strict privacy-related ones and could have important social consequences that the legislator should not avoid to deal with. Two law proposals are currently in the process to be enacted in order to give a solution and to increase the protection of the user against misuses of these services. The option taken for the regulation by collective labour agreements relative to the monitoring of employees through localisation devices is particularly interesting although it is part of a long tradition of negotiation.
On the other hand, new applications, whose development is led by Public Authorities, are emerging in order to solve general societal problems such as the regulation of vehicles traffic in big cities. Although theses new services are still in a phase of experimentation, they start raising new issues regarding the protection of the rights of the citizen either to privacy or to freedom of movement in an anonymous way and their balance with incoming new public interests. This situation could lead to providing Public Authorities with increased amount of information with the correlated risk of re-use of this information for other purposes.
