Privacy and Standardisation Coursera

Overview

This specialization focuses on privacy and standardisation in the context of technological innovation.

It provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject of privacy and standardisation, encouraging further exploration of privacy, personal data regulation, and standardisation. In light of recent developments, understanding individual rights and freedoms in this domain is increasingly important.

The privacy courses offer a historical perspective on the development of privacy rights in an international context. The standardisation course explains the legal environment and the scalable impact of standardisation. Both topics are presented within a technological framework. The course on Privacy in the Western World highlights the differences between the USA and Europe, with further detailed exploration provided in subsequent courses.

The Privacy and Standardisation Specialization offered by Coursera in partnership with EIT Digital supports the development of a comprehensive perspective and challenges learners across multiple aspects of modern privacy protection. It connects historical milestones with current limitations and explores different legal jurisdictions and technological domains.

Through video lectures and quizzes, the specialization builds a solid foundation for forming a well-informed perspective on privacy and standardisation and aims to provide an engaging learning experience.
