In our previous post, we laid the initial groundwork to explain in what circumstances individuals can claim ownership over their personal data. Here are our main arguments:
We also argued that personal data ownership is possible only with respect to the data that is held by the individual in their personal data cloud. We also emphasized that it would be unreasonable to support the idea that individuals should claim ownership over all personal data that is out there. Such a broad claim cannot be justified because of the lack of clarity of what data is to be considered “personal” enough.
