Data protection has become such an important area for law – and for society at large – that it is important to understand exactly what we are doing when we regulate privacy and personal data. This study analyses European privacy rights focusing especially on the GDPR, and asks what kind of legal personhood is presupposed in privacy regulation today. Looking at the law from a deconstructive angle, the philosophical foundations of this highly topical field of law are uncovered. By analysing key legal cases in detail, this study shows in a comprehensive manner that personhood is constructed in individualised ways. With its clear focus on issues relating to European Union law and how its future development will impact wider issues of privacy, data protection, and individual rights, the book will be of interest to those trying to understand current trends in EU law.

Reviews & endorsements
'… the work is accessible for both data protection and privacy scholars looking for a book that deepens their thinking about the GDPR and CJEU court cases, as well as for legal and political philosophers interested in privacy and data protection law … this book's added value lies precisely in the interdisciplinary approach it offers, and the new insights that combining two worlds may yield. For lawyers looking for detailed juridical analysis, there are many detailed commentaries on the GDPR and of CJEU cases, and philosophers only interested in philosophers and philosophers philosophising about philosophers, there is always Derrida's criticism of Hegel in Glas. This book is written for scholars that are interested in moving beyond their own discipline and for them, this book is warmly recommended.' Bart van der Sloot, European Data Protection Law Review (Vol 7 (2021), Issue 4)
See more reviews'Lindroos-Hovinheimo is to be congratulated on a rich and detailed book. It is a compelling piece of scholarship, which takes a novel perspective on privacy theory. In uncovering implicit aspects of the EU privacy and data protection regime, it opens up an important arena of the regime for scrutiny and debate.' Katharine Nolan, European Data Protection Law Review (Vol 7 (2021), Issue 4)
'… a fresh and informative philosophical approach to EU privacy and personal data protection law that is, at the same time, ideological and political.' Vagelis Papakonstantinou Brussels, Common Market Law Review
