In the era of Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence, it has become essential to digitize mass data, which leads 'data-driven economy'. Digitalized personal data can be easily collected, stored, duplicated and analyzed. As ICT technology is evolving the concept of traditional personal data has changed. The United States, the European Union, Japan, Korea and many countries have introduced new concept of personal data into law such as de-identification, anonymization, and pseudonymization to protect and utilize digitalized personal information. These concepts are distinguishable depending on countries. Therefore, this study will be done by researching and analyzing personal data related policies of several countries. Based on this study, this paper will suggest policy on di-identification to draw the right balance between personal data protection and use, which contributes to the development of digital economy.

Objectives: This study explored the perception and practice of privacy protection of some dental hygiene students. Methods: On the basis of survey data from 126 respondents, the correlation between the perception and the practice was analyzed. Also the multiple regression analysis was performed on the variables that affect the practice. Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ of the questionnaire was more than 0.6. The items were scored on 5 points scale or true-false type. Results: The perception of privacy protection was 3.23 points, the law is 0.88 points, and the practice is 3.47 points. The educated students were more perceive than those who did not(p<0.05). The higher the perception, the higher the practice(r=0.230, p<0.01). The practice was influenced by the perception(p<0.05). Conclusions: Dental hygiene students should be educated to perceive and protect the personal and medical information of a patient. Also, an educational institutions need a efforts to protect personal information.

A field of privacy protection lacks statistical information about the current status, compared to other fields. On top of that, since it has not been classified as a concrete separate field, the related survey is only conducted as a part of such concrete areas. Furthermore, this trend of being regarded as a part of fields such as informatization, information protection and law will continue in the near future. In this paper, a novel and practical way for collecting and storing a big amout of data from 110,000 privacy policies by data controller is proposed and the real analysis results is also shown. The proposed method can save time and cost compared with the traditional survey-based method while maintaining or even advancing the accuracy of results and speediness of process. The collected big personal data can be used to set up various kinds of statistical models and they will play an important role as a breakthrough of observing the present status of privacy information protection policy. The big data concept is incorporated into the privacy protection and we can observe the method and some results throughout the paper.

Many state agencies and companies collect personal data for the purpose of providing public services and marketing activities and use it for the benefit and results of the organization. In order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 recently, personal data is being collected to understand the movements of individuals. However, due to the lack of technical and administrative measures and internal controls on collected personal information, errors and leakage of personal data have become a major social issue, and the government is aware of the importance of personal data and is promoting the protection of personal information. However, theory-based training and document-based intrusion prevention training are not effective in improving the capabilities of the privacy officer. This study analyzes the processing steps and types of accidents of personal data managed by the organization and describes measures against personal data leakage and misuse in advance. In particular, using Capture the Flag (CTF) scenarios, an evaluation platform design is proposed to respond to personal data breaches. This design was proposed as a troubleshooting method to apply ISMS-P and ISO29151 indicators to reflect the factors and solutions to personal data operational defects and to make objective measurements.

This study looked at the conflict between the aspect of the use of personally non-identifiable information for the development of the big data industry and the digital advertising industry and the aspect of personal information protection. In order to achieve the research purpose, this study focused on literature research such as thesis, legal texts, administrative regulations, and recent media articles. As a result of this study, the main issues related to the protection of personally non-Identifiable Information in digital behavioral advertising were 'conflict between freedom of advertising expression and personal rights', 'personalization of unidentifiable information', 'information imbalance'. In this regard, as measures to protect personally non-identifiable information in digital behavioral advertising, it was proposed to 'harmonize with freedom of advertising expression and personal rights, 'improve notification and consent. process', and 'reinforce the right to control personal information'.

As the amendment to the Personal Information Protection Act, which newly established the basis for the right to request transmission of personal information, was promulgated through the plenary session of the National Assembly, MyData, which was previously applied only to the financial sector, could spread to all fields. The right to request transmission of personal information is the right of the information subject to be guaranteed for the realization of MyData. However, since the right to request transmission of personal information stipulated in the Personal Information Protection Act is designed to be applied to all fields, not a special field such as the medical field, it has many shortcomings to act as a core basis for implementing MyData in Medicine. Based on this awareness of the problem, this paper compares and analyzes major legal trends related to the right to portability of personal health information at home and abroad, and examines the limitations of Korea's Personal Information Protection Act and Medical Act in realizing Medical MyData. Under the Personal Information Protection Act, the right to request transmission of personal information is insufficient to apply to the medical field, such as the scope of information to be transmitted, the transmission method, and the scope of the person obligated to perform the transmission, etc.. Regulations on the right to access medical information and transmission of medical records under the Medical Act also have limitations in implementing the full function of Medical My Data in that the target information and the leading institution are very limited. In order to overcome these limitations, this paper prepared a separate and independent special law to regulate matters related to the use and protection of personal health information as a measure to improve the legal system that can effectively guarantee the right to portability of personal health information, taking into account the specificity of the medical field. It was proposed to specifically regulate the contents of the movement and transmission system of personal health information.

On information markets, we can identify different relations between sellers and their customers, with some users paying with money, some paying with attention, and others paying with their personal data. For the description of these different market relations, this article introduces the notion of arity into the scientific discussion. On unary information markets, customers pay with their money; examples include commercial information suppliers. Binary information markets are characterized by one market side paying with attention (e.g., on the search engine Google) or with personal data (e.g., on most social media services) and the other market side (mainly advertisers) paying with money. Our example of a ternary market is a social media market with the additional market side of influencers. If customers buy on unary markets, they know what to pay (in terms of money). If they pay with attention or with their personal data, they do not know what they have to pay exactly in the end. On n-ary markets (n greater than 1), laws should regulate company's abuse of money and-which is new-abuse of data streams with the aid of competition (or anti-trust) laws, and by modified data protection laws, which are guided by fair use of end users' attention and data.

In the long-term ecological research community, personal information is an important factor for the collaboration of data management and data usage in international long-term ecological research as well as on the national level. If lots of personal information was disclosed, collaborative researchers are useful to carry out research cooperation, whereas, information providers tend to be burdened to disclose it. LTER system should be considered to provide both maximum personal information required by a community and minimum personal information to be provided to unrelated people due to the scale of personal information and a number of the constraints on disclosure in the aspect of information distribution of the laws associated with personal information protection. In this article, we analyze international ecological metadata standard, EML, and trends in personal information management throughout international long-term ecological research platforms and propose a system model capable of managing personal information based on related domestic laws for the international data exchange through design and implementation.

COVID-19, a highly infectious disease, has affected the globe tremendously since its outbreak during late 2019 in Wuhan, China. In order to respond to the pandemic, governments around the world introduced a variety of public health measures including contact-tracing, a method to identify individuals who may have come into contact with a confirmed COVID-19 patient, which usually leads to quarantine of certain individuals. Like many other governments, the South Korean health authorities adopted public health measures using latest data technologies. Key data technology-based quarantine measures include:(1) Electronic Entry Log; (2) Self-check App; and (3) COVID-19 Wristband, and heavily relied on individual's personal information for contact-tracing and self-isolation. In fact, during the early stages of the pandemic, South Korea's strategy proved to be highly effective in containing the spread of coronavirus while other countries suffered significantly from the surge of COVID-19 patients. However, while the South Korean COVID-19 policy was hailed as a success, it must be noted that the government achieved this by collecting and processing a wide range of personal information. In collecting and processing personal information, the data minimum principle - one of the widely recognized common data principles between different data protection laws - should be applied. Public health measures have no exceptions, and it is even more crucial when government activities are involved. In this study, we provide an analysis of how the governments around the world reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic and evaluate whether the South Korean government's digital quarantine measures ensured the protection of its citizen's right to privacy.

Data are an essential resource for artificial intelligence-based services. It is considered a vital resource in the 4th industrial revolution era based on artificial intelligence. However, it is well-known that only a few giant platforms that provide most of the current online services tend to monopolize personal data. Therefore, some governments have started enforcing personal data protection and mobility regulations to address this problem. Additionally, there are some notable activities from a technical perspective, and Web 3.0 is one of these. Web 3.0 focuses on distributed architecture to protect people's data sovereignty. An important technical challenge of Web 3.0 is how to facilitate the personal data storage technology to provide valuable data for new data-based services while providing data for producers' sovereignty. This study reviews some currently proposed personal data storage technologies. Furthermore, we discuss the domestic countermeasures from MyData perspective, which is a typical project for data-based businesses in Korea.
