Question

Discuss the five guideline areas suggested for managing privacy issues regarding the use of digital data in human research. Specifically, think of and give a real-life scenario portraying the following concepts:

1. Violation of privacy with respect to digital data in human research
2. Adherence to privacy with respect to digital data in human research

Answer 1

Solution(s):

Digital media is all about

Whenever you send an email, read a social media post, or take pictures with your digital camera and nwes feed in internet. We all probably hear this term on a daily basis, but have you ever wondered what digital means? If you think it means any electronic information on a computer, you are on the right track.

Here five guideline areas suggested for managing privacy issues regarding the use of digital data in human research

ONE: OPEN GOVERNMENT STATISTICS

Governments collect data to inform decision?making and planning. There is a push for governments to open their data to the public to increase transparency,accountability and citizen engagement. Examples of open data initiatives are on the rise worldwide, including online portals and apps for citizens to access relevant government data for their own use. These sources can provide a wealth of relevant information for human rights researchers, but also poses challenges.

VIOLATION: Downloading, storing and organising government dataGovernment data is often presented in PDF format, making data searching and analysis challenging. The School of Data has tutorials on how to extract data from a PDF, so that you can work in a user?friendly and familiar format like CSV or XLSX.

TWO: HERE TODAY, GONE TOMORROW: PRESERVING ONLINE VIDEOS AND PHOTOS PHOTOS

Imagine you’ve found and and verified an online video that clearly exposes a violation. The video has the potential to strengthen a case oradvocacy campaign you are working on, so you save the link. A few days later, the video is gone...

VIOLATION/ADHERENCE : Googling ‘download Facebook video’ reveals a number of free tools, such as VideoVault, for preserving online photos and videos, also known as “scraping”. There are also browser plugins and custom scripts available for downloading large amounts of content. Be aware that scraping content violates the terms and conditions of many sites. It is important to be responsible about how you save, share, and credit/link to the original uploader or content creator.

ADHERENCE: 1. Decide what content is most relevant
           2. Use a consistent way of organising your photos and videos
           3. Use a separate text file to document the metadata
           4. Store in a secure location
           5. Check your files and drives periodically.

THREE:
now a days in soo many organisations goals are convert many projects into digitalising business processes and customer relation ships in order to optimise existing processess, enhance their business & introduce customer proximity (or) offer new services.

Violation are :
An IT security-oriented approach alone is not sufficient. To address the fears over the respect of privacy, it is essential for organisations to reassure individuals by guaranteeing the non-manipulation of data without their prior knowledge and against their will.

Adherence to privacy with respect to digital data:
here we go 4 principles: 1- Communicate transparently and explicitly
                         2- Minimise the collection and storage of personal data
                         3- Ensure individuals are in control of their personal data
                         4- Implement a win-win model
                   i.e., by clearly demonstrating the benefits generated by collecting and using data, not only for the organisation but also for individuals. Such benefits can be shared with customers through various means, such as additional services, rebates and compensation.

FOUR:    AS SEEN FROM ABOVE: SATELLITES AND DRONES

Aerial views offer extensive coverage of the ground that is useful for researching and documenting infrastructure, environmental changes, damage from conflict or natural disasters, and much more.
If you want to launch your own drone there are helpful resources available for getting started, deployment, and for understanding national
and local regulations(be sure to know the rules or you could risk getting fines, confiscation of equipment, or even arrest!).  

FIVE:   DATA THAT WILL HOLD UP IN COURT  

Human rights documentation has a powerful impact on legal proceedings. The International Criminal Court, as well as several hybrid tribunals,
actively seek civil society’s support. But courts are slow to adopt new technologies, and judges, who tend to be older, are often not familiar with how digital data can be folded into normal evidentiary rules. It will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction whether a YouTube video will be accepted as legal evidence.
For example, in 2015,
Sweden’s justice system prosecuted a former fighter from Syria for torture based on a video posted to Facebook. Many Syrians are crowdsourcing such online content to prosecute abroad former Syrian officials, militaries, and fighters that have fled the country.
