Legal Impacts Flashcards

All 5 cards in this deck

Give two things the law requires an organisation to do with the personal data it stores.: Any two of: keep it secure from unauthorised access; only collect the data it needs; not keep it for longer than necessary; only use it for the purpose it was collected for; keep it accurate.
Is it legal to access someone else's computer system or data without permission, if nothing is changed?: No. Gaining unauthorised access to a computer system (hacking) is a crime in itself. Changing or deleting data, or spreading malware, are further crimes.
Why do autonomous vehicles raise a legal problem when they crash?: It is unclear who is liable: the person in the vehicle, the manufacturer or the software developer. Driving and insurance laws written for human drivers need updating.
Why can storing personal data with a cloud storage provider raise a legal issue about where it is kept?: The provider's servers may be in another country, where different data protection laws apply to the data.
Which legal question arises if data an organisation stores with a cloud provider is stolen?: Who is responsible for the breach: the organisation that collected the data or the cloud provider that stored it. The organisation still has a legal duty to keep personal data secure.
