Maria Macocinschi

Doctoral candidate at Turku Law School

I am currently a doctoral candidate in information privacy law at the University of Turku, and a research fellow at Tilburg Institute for Law, Technology and Society. My research focuses on the interaction between dataveillance technologies and privacy and data protection regulations in the context of the modern information economies. In particular, I examine the legal and technological challenges of various mechanisms of consumer control over personal information and digital identities, as conceptualized in both human rights-based and market-oriented regimes.
