Right to Personal Data and Digital Services

The methodology used will privilege the active participation of students, in a dynamic that will be based on the following methodological and
technical procedures: Affirmative method: presentation of basic information by the teacher (expository and demonstrative). Interrogative
method: critical analysis and discussion of selected texts that exemplify concepts, methods, techniques and procedures presented. Active
method: teaching through discovery, resolution and discussion of case studies. Questions are asked during the exhibition and digital
platforms are used. Debates/discussions will be promoted in class and case studies will be resolved in the classroom, as already
mentioned. Current and relevant jurisprudence on the subjects taught will always be analyzed.

Students must be able to understand the legal framework for the protection of personal data and electronic commerce, with a view to
ensuring the implementation in the public and private sector of the Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and to understand what legal
information should be made available on digital platforms, in terms of defining data protection policies and electronic contracting.

OA1 – Understanding the legal framework for the protection of personal data
OA2 – Understanding the legal regime of electronic commerce
