Abstract

Service providers depend on the ability to host, analyze, and exchange the personal data of users. Legal and contractual frameworks aim to protect the rights of users regarding this data. However, a confluence of factors render these rights difficult to guarantee. This paper evaluates the potential of blockchain technology as a mechanism for achieving transparency and accountability in the realm of personal data collection.
