Hi Susan and Lisa,<br>
If it is still open, I volunteer to summarize the Article 29 Data
Protection Working Group's "Opinion 03/2013 on Purpose Limitation"
adopted by April 2, 2013. <br>
<br>
In many ways, this is just the piece we have been looking for to
understand what "purpose" means in the EU, and what the "purpose
limitation" requires under the EU Data Protection Directive. It
answers many questions we have been raising about the law and
framework of "purpose," including: <br>
+ <i>if under the EU Data Protection Directive, personal data must
be "collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and
not further processed in a way incompatible with those purposes,"
</i><i>then what is "a specified purpose," "how does a purpose
become explicit," and what purposes are "legitimate?" </i>All
discussed in detail!<br>
<i><br>
</i>Further, it has sections addressing the natural follow-up
question: what is "compatible use?" This decision discusses at
length the legal limitation for "further processing" of personal
data -- which must be not incompatible with the original purpose for
which the data was collected in the first place. <br>
<br>
If someone has already summarized this opinion, how might I find
that summary? <br>
<br>
Also, can we post the article by Hunton & Williams (global law
firm) in its Privacy & Information Security Law Blog titled: "<i>Article
29 Working Party Clarifies Purpose Limitation Principles; Opines
on Big and Open Data." </i>The writers provide a concise
overview of the Article 29 Working Party's 70-page decision above is
in clear language (hooray!). It provides a readable overview of this
decision that "goes to the heart of data protection law and is
relevant to virtually all data controllers processing personal data
in the EU." <br>
<br>
I think it would help the full WG to provide access to it -- link:

<br>
I'm happy to summarize it. <br>
Best and tx, <br>
