Abstract

Departing from a need to remedy the insufficient participation of stakeholders in the governance of privacy, and in particular in privacy impact assessment (PIA), this paper proposes the adaptation of the so-called environmental democracy, of which the 1998 Aarhus Convention is the most recent and most important formalisation, to the needs and reality of privacy, thus creating the "privacy democracy". Such a framework would comprise three enforceable rights: to access privacy-related information, to take part in privacy-related decision-making in specific situations and to seek remedy should the two previous rights be violated. The experience of the functioning of environmental democracy would offer invaluable insight for the implementation of its privacy counterpart.
