Does life in the cloud computing world have privacy?

"Cloud computing has posed a serious threat to your private life and is more serious than you think," a European Parliament study said recently.

The study, published by the European Parliament, describes the underlying risks: cloud computing's privacy threat is underestimated. With the development of cloud computing, growing reliability problems, cyber fraud and cybercrime, personal identity and data loss have become the problems that cloud computing must face.

This Monday is the European annual Data Protection day, and the European Parliament has alerted users to the idea of how personal information is collected and how to better protect private life. At the same time, the European Parliament is also actively considering the updating of data protection legislation, so as to introduce the latest technology to protect personal information to prevent the disclosure of personal information.

The report also points out that U.S. legal authorization to monitor cloud computing data for non-US citizens means that the US authorities are likely not to comply with EU reform proposals, which, of course, can be resolved in EU-US negotiations.

As far as we know, the American Patriot Act and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act have allowed the United States Government to collect information on all types of people without a warrant. So given these bills, the ECB has alerted EU companies to the privacy concerns of hosting data in US data centers and using US cloud computing services.

Let's look at the data from Google. In fact, every six months Google publishes a transparency report revealing Internet user data, including Governments submitting user data to view requests. In a recent report released in Wednesday, Google published the number of government data requests, of which the U.S. government ranked first, only in the second half of 2012 as high as 8,438 times.

Peter Hustinx, a European data protection management expert, cautions that your personal information is invaluable, so be sure to keep it safe, while paying attention to your rights to share data-you have a right to know which data you need to submit to the industry and government databases. If the information is incorrect, you have the right to ask for an inspection to ensure that the information affects you.

In order to ensure that Member States have a common bill, the EU has introduced reforms to existing legislation. This includes the right to be forgotten: if there is no justification for the retention of data, the citizen has the right to delete the personal data, which simultaneously introduces a penalty mechanism for the loss and disclosure of user data. These two legislative proposals are now being adopted by the Parliament.

Jan-philipp Albrecht, a member of the European Parliament, is primarily responsible for the development of a data protection regulatory framework, indicating that the forgotten rights, informed use and transfer of personal data, violations of privacy rights of the three data protection standards for all EU citizens, Whether he is in the EU or not in the European Union. "The new data protection legislation will be common in the European Union, which will strengthen consumer rights and provide legal certainty to the public and make the citizens more creditworthy," the company said. ”

Summary：

Life in the cloud computing world, is there privacy to speak of? This issue can be dialectical to see, in the relevant laws and regulations are not perfect today, our personal privacy information is undoubtedly exposed to the public, in the face of those human flesh search data data mining, the Internet you are very likely to be watched naked, but we believe that privacy security from the beginning is an unfinished war, With the establishment and improvement of relevant laws and regulations, we have reason to believe that our personal information can be well protected.
