Abstract (in italiano)
Il contributo indaga sul rapporto tra privacy e trasparenza amministrativa nell'ordinamento giuridico italiano. La ricerca parte dall'analisi del fondamento costituzionale della trasparenza e svolge un breve excursus della sua evoluzione. La diffusione di internet ha inevitabilmente portato ad un'evoluzione del concetto di trasparenza. Per questo motivo il lavoro analizza anche come la nozione di trasparenza si intreccia con le nuove categorie giuridiche, diffusesi con l'era digitale, in particolare: big data, data mining e governance algoritmica.
Abstract (in inglese)
The paper investigates the relationship between privacy and administrative transparency in the Italian legal system. The research starts from the analysis of the constitutional basis of transparency and makes a brief excursus of its evolution. The spread of the internet has inevitably led to an evolution of the concept of transparency. For this reason, the work also analyses how the notion of transparency is intertwined with the new legal categories, spread with the digital age, in particular: big data, data mining and algorithmic governance.
