Abstract

Geçtiğimiz
dönemde e-Gizlilik Tüzüğü’ne ilişkin birçok gelişme olmuştur. Özellikle
e-Gizlilik Tüzüğü’nün son taslak versiyonlarında (temel olarak 4 Ekim 2019, onu
takip eden 17 Ekim 2019 ve 30 Ekim 2019 tarihli taslaklar) yer alan
değişiklikler güncel tartışmalara konu olmuştur. Özellikle “rıza” kavramı
üzerinde duran bu tartışmalar çerçevesinde, rızanın GVKT uyarınca bir rıza
olması gerektiğinin de altı Avrupa Birliği Adalet Divanı’nın (ABAD) Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband eV v.
Planet49 GmbH (C‑673/17) (Planet49
davası) kararında da çizilmiştir. E-Gizlilik Tüzüğü’nde “rıza” kavramına
ilişkin yeniliklerle beraber başka değişiklikler getirilmiş olsa da, bu
değişiklikler kapsamında sıkça görülen güncel tartışmalardaki endişelerin çoğu
“rıza” kavramına ilişkin kuralları ve bunların ilgili paydaşlar üzerindeki
olası etkisini içermektedir. Bu çalışmada e-Gizlilik taslağında görülen değişikliklere
genel olarak yer verilecek olsa da, asıl olarak “rıza” kavramı ve son
versiyonda yer almayan ancak tartışmalara sebebiyet veren maddeler üzerinde
durulacaktır.

Commentary on the Latest Draft of the e-Privacy Regulation

Abstract

Recently, there
have been many developments regarding the upcoming e-Privacy Regulation. In
particular, changes in the latest draft versions of the e-Privacy Regulation (mainly
4 October 2019, subsequent drafts of 17 October 2019 and 30 October 2019) have
become soaring topics in the debates rotating around the fundamental rights of
data protection and privacy, mainly focusing on the issue of “consent”. Another
recent development concerning the changes that will be brought by the
long-waited enactment of the ePrivacy Regulation concerns the Court of Justice
of the European Union’s ruling (CJEU) in the case of Planet49 where the Court
found that the only form of valid consent for processing user data in the EU is
explicit consent. This decision has underscored the importance of developing a
true understanding of the interplay between the GDPR and the ePrivacy
Regulation. Although there are other novelties and changes that are brought
with the e-Privacy Regulation, in the current discussions the main concerns
relate to the rules on the notion of “consent” and such changes’ possible
impact on different stakeholders. In this study, although the changes that are
seen in the e-Privacy Regulation will be mentioned in general, the main focus
will be on the notion of consent and a discussion will be carried out by
referring to the relevant Articles under the latest ePrivacy Regulation draft
proposal released in October 2019.
