Protecting Personal Data
Category: Regulation | Area of Effect: Consumer Protection
Proposed by: Marxist Germany | Onsite Topic​
The World Assembly,

Appalled by the lack of a resolution regarding data protection;

Recognising the individuals' right to privacy;

Believing that businesses should not be able to collect data from a customer without the explicit consent of that customer as this is clearly a violation of the right to privacy;

Noting that minors are not fully mentally mature and are not capable of taking decisions on their own without the help of their guardians;

Seeking to protect customers from exploitation by businesses;

Hereby,

  1. Defines the following for the purpose of this resolution:
    1. A "Minor" as any sapient being under the age of majority;

    2. A "Guardian" as any legal parent of a minor, or if none, the biological parent;

    3. "Personal Data" as any data that can be used to identify a sapient;

    4. A "User" as any person who uses or had used the services of a business;


  2. Prohibits:
    1. Businesses from storing the personal data of any minor without the explicit consent of their guardian except when the business cannot identify the user's age;

    2. Businesses from using personal data collected from a user to cause harm or severe distress to the user the data belongs to;

    3. Governments of member states from viewing the data without explicit prior consent from both the business holding the data and the user that the data belongs to except when the information is needed for a criminal investigation or trial and a warrant has been issued;


  3. Mandates that:
    1. Businesses provide explicit information on how they will use a user's data in their terms of service;

    2. Businesses enable users to view the data that the said business holds on them;

    3. Personal data processed for any purpose is not kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose unless the user consents to that explicitly and clearly;

    4. Businesses allow users to request the removal of their personal data, and act upon these requests unless there is a clear and very compelling safety or disciplinary reason to do otherwise;


  4. Requires that member states make a private right of action against businesses that don't follow the boundaries established in this resolution;

  5. Encourages member states to enact stricter laws to protect their citizens' privacy from businesses.

Against.

Seems simplified and doesn't address the issue of a government needed to contact every single user to view business data. Seems crazily inefficient. Also doesn't understand the meaning and use of warrants in law. Destroying many government uses of data.

2.1 looks like it would essentially destroy the ability of Social media to do anything, particularly the ones storing your name.

Against (WA is not in TNP).
