Does Vagueness in Regulation Make an Organization Less Likely to Comply?
The European Commission’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect in 2018. In this video, BERNHARD GANGLMAIR analyzes the ways in which German firms responded to this regulation with a particular focus on the GDPR requirement for accessibility and readability. Studying companies’ privacy policies published between 2014 and 2021, the research shows that while the volume of information provided increased greatly, its readability generally did not. Ganglmair argues that the regulation’s failure to precisely define readability makes it more likely that films will not comply with this requirement. Continuing research will explore the relevance of competitive pressures in this context.
