| Abstract |
Terms of use of a digital service are often framed in a binary way: Either one agrees to the service provider's data processing practices, and is granted access to the service, or one does not, and is denied the service. Many scholars have lamented these 'take-it-or-leave-it' situations, as this goes against the ideals of data protection law. To address this inadequacy, computer scientists and legal scholars have tried to come up with approaches to enable more privacy-friendly products and services. In this article, we call for a right to customize the processing of user data. Our arguments build upon technology-driven approaches as well as on the ideals of privacy by design and the now codified data protection by design and default norm within the General Data Protection Regulation. In addition, we draw upon the right to repair that is propagated to empower consumers and enable a more circular economy. We propose two technologically-oriented approaches, termed 'variants' and 'alternatives' that could enable the technical implementation of a right to customization. We posit that these approaches cannot be demanded without limitation, and that restrictions will depend on how reasonable a customization demand is. |
