Abstract
In Europe, everyone has a right to privacy and data protection. These rights are based on the rationales for informational privacy protection described in Chap. 3. Privacy and data protection legislation put why we protect privacy into concrete principles, which then become how we protect privacy. In the context of information, in particular, data protection legislation generates an enforceable framework for guarding against informational privacy harms. Therefore, the focus of this chapter will focus on data protection legislation. First we introduce both legal concepts and describe the evolution of data protection legislation in Europe. We then develop a taxonomy of the legal principles for privacy and data protection.
