Abstract

In the growing digitalized world, the European Union implemented the General Data Protection Regulation(GDPR) to establish a comprehensive data protection framework across member states. Given the constitutional roots of GDPR, the EU's regulatory approach is different than other data protection regimes. The new regulation has strengthened individual rights to data protection, but it also introduced several obligations for businesses that collect and process personal data. We review the existing literature on privacy, particularly GDPR, from a policy perspective. The evidence outlines data regulation's effects on competition, innovation, marketing activities, and cross-border data flows. The discussion highlights the tradeoffs between increased regulation of data protection and its effects on the market.

전세계적으로 디지털 전환이 확산됨에 따라 유럽연합(EU)은 회원국 간의 포괄적인 데이터 보호 프레임워크를 구축하기 위해 GDPR(General Data Protection Regulation)을 시행하였다. GDPR의 헌법적 뿌리를 고려할 때, EU의 규제 접근법은 다른 데이터 보호 규정들과는 차이가 있다. GDPR은 데이터 보호에 대한 개인의 권리를 강화하였다. 하지만 개인의 데이터를 수집하고 처리하는 기업에 대한 몇 가지 의무 또한 도입하였다. 본 연구에서는 정책적 관점에서 프라이버시, 특히 GDPR에 관한 기존의 문헌을 고찰하였으며, 이를 통해 데이터 규제가 경쟁, 혁신, 마케팅 활동 및 국경을 초월한 데이터 흐름에 미치는 영향을 개략적으로 리뷰 하였다. 그리고 본 연구는 프라이버시와 GDPR이 시장에 미치는 영향 사이의 절충안을 강조한다.
