Common use of Operational Issues Clause in Contracts

Operational Issues. While the EU Data protection directive applies to all member states, Project activities at each pilot site will be conducted across the pilot sites countries according to national data protection regulation / legislation based on the EU legislation. This is important because even though the relevant EU directive exists, MSs may interpret its scope quite differently; special attention should therefore be given to national legislation. For instance, concerning location data, EU countries are supposed to define whether the consent of the user may be used for future communications or not. Moreover, countries may adopt even different views on what the legal term “personal data” refers to, either leaving outside the scope of relevant legislation anonymised data, or adopting an interpretation based on whether the person is identifiable by the controller of the data. General data protection guidelines will be prepared by the Project to help pilot sites to comply with European and national legislation and identify which data protection rules apply, including risks and potential solutions.
