Diana-Ioana Roșu: Data Protection Liability for Controllers of the Sharing Economy Platforms

Abstract: This paper studies the problem of data protection in the sharing economy, the liability for the data processing conducted in such a context and identifies a gap in the way GDPR is enforced by collaborative platforms. The study discusses whether collaborative platforms are information society services and further analyses how the self-declared status of an information society service prevents collaborative platforms from creating an adequate framework to protect personal data. More precisely, after concluding the contract between the final receiver and the service provider, a collaborative platform will temporarily withdraw from its data controller role, allowing the service providers to process data without a legal framework that enforces GDPR principles.

Keywords: GDPR; sharing economy; data protection; data controller; collaborative platform
