About the Course

Welcome to this course about privacy, We are thrilled to see that you are interested and will provide you with a comprehensive study of this intriguiging subject. We hope this course will enthuse you to look further into privacy and personal data regulation. Especially in the light of recent events it becomes more important to know about your (alleged!?) rights and freedoms. After showing you a number of interesting examples of privacy in recent events, this course continues to provide you with an historic introduction, and varying cases and court decisions. It will guide you through the cultural and legal changes in perception of privacy over time. Sometimes with a more technological perspective. Notably, in the Western world differences have accumulated over time and the differences between the USA and Europe will be explained extensively in the follow-up courses. Through video lectures and quizzes we endeavor to build a solid foundation for you to construct a well-founded opinion on privacy. Last but not least we sincerely hope you enjoy the course! Prof.mr.dr. Jan Smits...

When teaching something about privacy, it is rare that anyone so briefly and succinctly tells about the history of human rights in Western society. But it is at the heart of the right to privacy.

Amazing course, and the instructor makes it very interesting through explaining the content in great detail. The information was also spread very well over the weeks, and flowed very well.

Nice course. At first I was hesitant that I would get a lot of boring history lessons, but the videos are really short and to the point and explain where these privacy laws come from and that they make sense! Also nice to see how current developments like at Facebook are addressed as well.

Didn't know what to expect from this course really... There definitely were some new and interesting facts and thoughts on privacy development. But have mixed feelings about the way the content was presented, meaning those short video lectures (were they supposed to make one go look for additional materials elsewhere?)

One of the best course which takes you to the world where the human civilisation started and combines the privacy from ancient empires and connects its roots to the present modern world.

Very interesting course, it connects the dots between different treaties and international conventions in order to understand in a more holistic approach the idea of privacy

Estuvo muy chevere! En especial la forma en la que tratan varios temas que parecen desconectados, pero que después toman forma.
