Rutersaken

Denne wikisiden inneholder kun noen få utdrag fra efn-agenda og trenger ennå mye arbeid!

Rutebilselskapet for Oslo og omegn "Ruter" har begått mange blemmer rundt personvern og trenger sårt en grundig avkledning med påfølgende endring av løsningen sin.

Dete er rototypen på en klassisk EFN sak. Ett monopol som gjør som dei vil da det vil medføre ekstra styr, tid (og muligens pengar) for vanlege

folk om dei ikke retta seg etter de tilfeldige reglene Ruter diktar

opp til enhver tid.

EUs forslag til retningslinjer for bruk av "21st century barcodes" er (overraskende) mye strengere enn den linja Ruter (og noen andre i det hele tatt egentlig) har lagt seg på: http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/09/740&format=HTML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=en

Hovedpunktene klippet og limt:

• Consumers should be in control whether products they buy in shops use

smart chips or not. When consumers buy products with smart chips, these should be deactivated automatically, immediately and free-of-charge at the point of sale, unless the consumer explicitly opts-in by asking to keep the chip operational. Exceptions can be granted to avoid unnecessary burden on retailers, for example, but only after an assessment of the chip's impact on privacy.

• Companies or public authorities using smart chips should give

consumers clear and simple information so that they understand if their personal data will be used, the type of collected data (such as name, address or date of birth) and for what purpose. They should also provide clear labelling to identify the devices that 'read' the information stored in smart chips, and provide a contact point for citizens to obtain more information.

• Retail associations and organisations should promote consumer

awareness on products containing smart chips through a common European sign to indicate whenever a smart chip is used by a product.

• Companies and public authorities should conduct privacy and data

protection impact assessments before using smart chips. These assessments, reviewed by national data protection authorities, should ensure that personal data is secure and well protected.
