Legal perspectives on post-GDPR developments among law students and information science students at University of Osijek

In May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) changed the data protection of personal data by organizations and companies operating in the European Union and abroad. Namely, due to the very nature of modern technologies, data are not unavoidably bound by some state or borders of European Union. In information society exists the privacy oxymoron namely while people very much value their protection of personal data, they do not act in line with it, particularly when it concerns new technologies. Since more and more individuals especially students’ population use applications on their mobile phones such as communication apps, social apps and fitness apps as well as wearables to measure their health, the aim of this paper is to explore the level of students’ awareness and familiarity with the main GDPR terms and principles especially with the six fundamental GDPR principles: (1) lawfulness, fairness, and transparency, (2) purpose restriction (limitation), (3) data minimization, (4) data accuracy, (5) data storage limitation and (6) data security. This paper gives theoretical insights into the legal perspectives of post - GDPR developments and within the empirical part shows the results of the survey conducted among two students’ populations –law students and information science students regarding their awareness and familiarity with the main GDPR terms and principles in context of use of modern technologies especially new health technologies which offer the great potential for growth and economic development.
