ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the legal and ethical sources relevant to personal data sharing systems, both already applicable and under development, are identified and the main challenges related to personal data sharing operations and practices are sketched, as well as the technology-related opportunities to tackle them, with special attention to what DataVaults 1 technological fixes are going to offer to the data marketplace in this regard towards a trustworthy personal data sharing environment. The chapter also offers an overview of the ethics-related work performed, tools employed, and achievements reached in the DataVaults project: such tools and work could be replicated in other environments, with some adaptations, with the same goal of ensuring the adherence to the relevant legislation, especially GDPR, and to the ethical mandates.
