A
new journal in European data protection law is on its way. It’s going to be
called the European Data Protection Law Review, and will be published by Lexxion.
Can
you tell whether an organisation is serious about data protection just by
reviewing its privacy policy? If it is, then what do you make of Lexxion's privacy policy, which is only 135 words long?
A
privacy policy in just 135 words?
But
is it fit for purpose? Well, as the journal is being produced by a
reputable German legal publishing company, and the purpose is to consider data protection
issues from an academic (and legal) perspective, so I can only assume that Lexicon fully satisfies every aspect of German data protection law.
For
those that wondered how Lexicon decided to meet their fair processing obligations,
here is the policy:
Please
note that we do not pass on personal data to third parties unless it is to
companies helping us to comply with your requests.
We
need your personal data, such as name, address, mailing address and telephone
number to be able to deliver requested goods as quickly as possible. We also
need your personal data in order to provide you with information on new
products.
If
we should generate statistics about sales, customers, etc., we will do so only
in anonymised form.
You
are entitled to condradict to such use of your personal data at any time.
We
inform you that our company does not use cookies which are stored on your
computer beyond the time of the respective session.
Privacy
Talibanista that object to a fair processing statement being expressed so
succinctly should contact Lexxion – not me.
