Abstract

ABSTRACT The debate on the intersection of competition law and privacy constitutes a major challenge for the existing competition law framework. This article considers the intersection between competition law and privacy and argues that it is possible to recognise a positive relation between these legal areas. However, with the rise of digital platforms that provide free products and services to consumers while generating revenue through data collection, the discussion has intensified regarding whether non-price elements, such as privacy, should be considered as a factor in competition law analysis. The author argues that it is possible to demonstrate a dogmatic link between these legal sources, as a coherent and consistent interpretation of competition law and data protection is adequate. The article finds that dogmatic approach corresponds to recent development in competition law enforcement.
