Do those laws apply if you sign a consent waiver? Like terms of service: agree to X or we won’t give you service.

- nabla9 6y agoEU also has regulations to what rights people can sign away. Data collection must have a reason and the data collected be relevant to achieve the task they are doing. Collect everything for no whatever reason is not allowed. https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/internet-telecoms/data-protection-online-privacy/index_en.htm#shortcut-0 https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/internet-tel...
- chopin 6y agoThis is unfortunately not true for health data. There is an exemption for those that those can be collected for research purposes if a member entity legalize that. That is the case in Germany for people who are not privately insured. Their health data is centrally collected for research purposes.
- PeterisP 6y agoYes, they can't be signed away. Nuances matter of course, but regarding data privacy rights the general situation is that if you sign some contract with a clause 'agree to X or we won’t give you service' then that clause is simply invalid as it conflicts with the law and is not binding. If a company would use that data, then they can be fined for using that data without consent since that is not valid (freely given) consent.
