《通用数据保护条例》(GDPR) 保护自然人的个人数据，同时允许此类数据在欧盟 (EU) 内自由流动。该法规被崇拜者誉为宏伟，但被批评者斥为保护主义，预计将在包括非洲联盟 (AU) 在内的世界各地产生深远影响。对于开展可能影响非洲公民隐私的欧非财团来说，问题是“如何保护数据主体的个人数据，同时确保全球数字生态系统利益的公平分配？”我们使用位置隐私作为出发点，因为有关个人位置的信息不同于其他类型的个人身份信息。我们从个人和文化两个层面分析隐私。我们的视角是跨学科的：我们利用计算机科学来描述将自愿或观察到的信息转换为有关自然人的推断信息的三种场景，并利用文化理论来区分 GDPR 后欧盟内部出现的四种隐私文化。我们重点介绍了非盟最近的数据保护立法，并讨论了可能加速或阻碍非盟数据保护立法与 GDPR 保持一致的因素。
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) protects the personal data of natural persons and at the same time allows the free movement of such data within the European Union (EU). Hailed as majestic by admirers and dismissed as protectionist by critics, the Regulation is expected to have a profound impact around the world, including in the African Union (AU). For European-African consortia conducting research that may affect the privacy of African citizens, the question is 'how to protect personal data of data subjects while at the same time ensuring a just distribution of the benefits of a global digital ecosystem?' We use location privacy as a point of departure, because information about an individual's location is different from other kinds of personally identifiable information. We analyse privacy at two levels, individual and cultural. Our perspective is interdisciplinary: we draw from computer science to describe three scenarios of transformation of volunteered or observed information to inferred information about a natural person and from cultural theory to distinguish four privacy cultures emerging within the EU in the wake of GDPR. We highlight recent data protection legislation in the AU and discuss factors that may accelerate or inhibit the alignment of data protection legislation in the AU with the GDPR.
