AB  - Smart meters are being installed in consumers’ homes as the world moves to the smartgrid of intelligent energy networks. Smart meters are near real-time communication devices that can collect and communicate a vast amount of personal data about each customer’s  energy use. Questions about who should have access to such data and for what  purposes raise significant consumer privacy concerns about data sharing. Because data  sharing facilitates secondary uses of energy use data and is essential for third party access  to the data, data sharing is a critical activity that needs to be analysed from an information  privacy perspective. This article makes three important contributions. First,  it identifies the key privacy and data protection concerns for both the EU and USA  consumers related to data sharing in smart metering systems. Second, it provides a  comparison of EU and US privacy and data protection law as it applies to smart metering  systems, revealing gaps in coverage in both systems. Third, it explains how important  privacy concerns related to data sharing are being addressed in the EU and the  USA, including specific examples of legislation and self-regulatory mechanisms that  have been adopted to protect privacy in smart metering systems. From this comparative  analysis, potential privacy-enhancing solutions can be identified. Ultimately it will  be up to government regulators and industry to adopt local solutions, but the goal of  this article is to encourage adoption of regulatory solutions and industry best practices  that are consistent with privacy rights and information privacy principles.

AB  - Mobile customers are increasingly confronted with behavioural advertising targeted individually on the basis of profiles generated by applying technologies to mine databases containing personally-identifying or anonymous data. This article is Part I of a two part series on “Profiling the Mobile Customer”. Part I answers the questions: “What is profiling in the context of behavioural advertising?” and “How will consumer profiling impact the privacy of mobile customers?”. The article examines the EU and U.S. regulatory frameworks for protecting privacy and personal data in regards to behavioural advertising that targets mobile customers. It identifies potential harms to privacy and personal data related to profiling for behavioural advertising. It evaluates the extent to which the existing regulatory frameworks in the EU and the U.S.provide an adequate level of protection. Consequently, the article identifies the privacy gaps in the regulatory frameworksthat will need to be addressed to adequately protect mobile consumers from profiling by marketers. Part II of Profiling the Mobile Customer that will appear in the next volume of the CLSR. It will discuss whether industry self-regulation or privacy enhancing technologies will be adequate to protect consumer privacy, or rather, whether new legislation will be necessary.
