Having established a crucial gap in online legal privacy protection, we suggest future protection may need to come from legislation, contract or “code” solutions, of which the first emergent into the market is Google Inactive Account Manager.UK & International Benefits for PetQuip Members The PetQuip Awards An analysis of comparative common and civilian law institutions, focusing on personality rights, defamation, moral rights and freedom of testation, confirms that there is little support for post-mortem privacy in common law, and while personality rights in general have greater traction in civilian law, including their survival after death, the primary role taken by contract regulation may still mean that users of US-based intermediary platforms, wherever they are based, are deprived of post mortem privacy rights. ![]() We argue that the new circumstances of the digital world, and in particular the emergence of a new and voluminous array of “digital assets” created, hosted and shared on web 2.0 intermediary platforms, and often revealing highly personal or intimate personal data, require a revisiting of this stance. While of established concern in disciplines such as psychology, counselling and anthropology, this notion has till now has received relatively little attention in law, especially common law. It may be termed the right of a person to preserve and control what becomes of his or her reputation, dignity, integrity, secrets or memory after their death. Post-mortem privacy is not a recognised term of art or institutional category in general succession law or even privacy literature. ![]() All unnecessary burdens which can be mitigated or even effaced by the promulgation of posthumous personal data protection of deceased subjects as legal rights of the dead, or through other equally effective protective measures. What this entails is that personal data of deceased persons are often left to the whims and caprices of Internet Service Providers (hereinafter referred to as ISPs) whom those with vested interests in the privacy and reputation of the deceased must challenge in order to preserve their interests thereby incurring financial stress, dredging up painful memories and further inflicting emotional distress on the deceased’s loved ones. The current legal framework of the European Union does not have provisions for a posthumous data protection and/or privacy right – online and/or offline, nor is there a uniform law, globally, regarding the handling of deceased person’s social media contents. Thus, leaving unprotected the surviving interests of the dead and those of their surviving relatives and/or heirs. However, personal data protection is usually not accorded to the dead, nor are the dead considered de facto privacy rights bearers. Privacy should not have to erode at the expiration of human life, especially in an age where digitalisation is part of everyday life. ![]()
