Geolocation data and other sensitive information about individuals is for sale in epic quantities. Investigative reporting documents, for example, how frictionless one can obtain a near-live subscription to 3.6 billion geolocation records for less than 14.000 Euros through a Berlin-based platform. This trade interferes with the rights of millions and European security agencies are top clients for data brokers.

Nascent regulatory efforts on sensitive commercially available data are driven primarily by valid national security concerns. For example, U.S. policymakers are advancing a framework to better protect bulk sensitive data of Americans from being sold to countries of concern. Are legislators also prepared to better protect individuals from unconstrained, unreasonable, arbitrary or disproportionate government use of purchased data? How can European democracies better address the enormous privacy challenges to which the GDPR has not been a cure.

Questions to be answered:
What kind of protections should legislators advance to better protect the rights of individuals from potential infringements tied to the use of commercially available data by democratic governments?
What needs to be done to strengthen the mandate and the aptitude of independent and effective oversight?
What could European data protection authorities do to close current loopholes in the enforcement of privacy rights?
How can the EU, the Council of Europe and the OECD help advance norms and legal standards when it comes to ADINT?
