CONSUMER_TALKS is an interdisciplinary Webinar-Series on current and future topics of consumer law and consumer policy, hosted by VKI and kindly supported by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection.
In Episode #1 on Data Protection and Privacy Rights we welcome Christiane Wendehorst (University of Vienna) and Max Schrems (noyb - European Center for Digital Rights).
We talk about the status quo of consumer protection in the digital age, about digital vulnerability, dark patterns, personalized pricing and the GDPR’s effectiveness. We talk about the very first judgment of the European Court of Justice on emotional damages under the GDPR, the enforcement landscape concerning data protection rules and about recent and future regulatory approaches.
