Descrizione del progetto
Cittadini scienziati proteggono la vostra privacy
Il regolamento generale sulla protezione dei dati personali (GDPR) è una normativa dell’UE che impone alle organizzazioni di salvaguardare i dati personali e di sostenere i diritti alla privacy di chiunque si trovi sul territorio dell’Unione. I cittadini scienziati possono svolgere un ruolo prezioso nel garantire la privacy e fornire una migliore comprensione di quali informazioni vengono tracciate online. Il progetto CSI-COP, finanziato dall’UE, mobiliterà cittadini scienziati di tutta Europa e non solo per studiare i diversi tipi di tracker nei cookie e nelle app, oltre a elaborare metodi per preservare la privacy nella raccolta dei dati. Il progetto offrirà materiale di formazione per istruire informalmente i cittadini scienziati sul GDPR con l’obiettivo di produrre una tassonomia dei tracker che sarà successivamente utilizzata per creare un archivio ad accesso aperto.
Obiettivo
The CSI-COP project will investigate GDPR compliance to better understand how far we are being tracked-by-default as we use the Internet visiting websites and apps on our mobile devices. CSI-COP will engage citizen scientists to address the growing concerns in society around privacy issues, and the methods that attempt to ensure integrity in the collection and use of data.
Regardless of background, a community of CSI-COP citizen scientists will be recruited from across Europe and beyond. A series of free-to-attend workshops and a MOOC will be developed with training material to informally educate about GDPR. CSI-COP’s community of citizen scientists will be a) fully trained to explore cookies and apps for embedded trackers, b) supported throughout their research, CSI-COP citizen scientists will investigate cookies on websites they normally visit, and apps on smart devices they use daily, and c) encouraged to record and report to the CSI-COP consortium the number and types of trackers they uncover in cookies and apps.
CSI-COP’s well connected eleven partner consortium made up of seven universities, one non-profit, two SMEs and one Association will promote and support the citizen scientists as role models, with the university partners inviting them post-project as pro-privacy champions.
The unique findings on digital trackers uncovered by the citizen scientists will be systematically mapped by CSI-COP consortium producing a taxonomy of trackers. The tracker taxonomy will be used to create an online repository. The repository will be available as an open-access knowledge resource on trackers embedded in cookies and apps. The knowledge resource will be a tool useful for a variety of stakeholders including data protection researchers, GDPR compliance regulators, tech journalists, software developers, parents, teachers, higher education curriculum developers, and any organisation that provides computers for public use such as libraries.
