True Mallory,wills could be one avenue for consenting to succession of data. Our reality however is that majority of the population do not make wills for cultural and other reasons. Il giorno ven 14 set 2018 alle ore 12:41 Mallory Knodel via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> ha scritto:
It seems that a will and testament is a form of consent. So if we look at this issue as one of consent, we assume that unless it is expressed in perpetuity, eg through a last will and testament, that the consent has not been granted, nor will it ever be.

So what should determine the data should be available to successors? It is easy to see how DNA data would be useful for proving kinship or for health reasons. But how far should we go? And wouldn't someone else (the data processor or controller) still have access to the deceased's data anyway?

The "how" of administration of data after death ought to be covered in the data law in the making, the law to apply alongside the law of succession.
I think its a great idea that data protection laws could enable the execution of how private data and personal information is handled according to the deceased last will and testament. This should be seen in the sense of executing the last will and testament of the deceased though, not treating ones data as property.
When I die, there is a LOT of personal information and private information I should like to the grave, some of which I would like to be shared. I would not like all my private and memories and personal memories to become “property” of my next of kin when I am dead, solely because they left a digital footprint. _______________________________________________ kictanet mailing list kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke <mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet Twitter: http://twitter.com/kictanet Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KICTANet/ Domain Registration sponsored by www.eacdirectory.co.ke <http://www.eacdirectory.co.ke>
