Insuring Data Risks: Problems and Solutions

2024-04-30T12:34:20+03:00

The proliferation of valuable data assets and connectivity in the digital economy has been accompanied by intensifying cyber risks. However, systemic constraints including data ambiguities, legal uncertainty, and misaligned incentives have severely limited advancement of cyber insurance coverage relative to rising enterprise protection needs. This research provides a comprehensive analysis of key bottlenecks inhibiting cyber data risk insurability. It examines constraints stemming from historical data deficiencies, risk modeling complexities, opaque controls, and fragmented regulatory regimes. The study also evaluates internal challenges faced by insurers in advancing policies like claims ambiguities, talent gaps, and reliance on primitive actuarial techniques. It further proposes targeted legal, risk management and public-private partnership enhancements that can expand viable transfer of cyber data risks. These include graduated security frameworks, transparent data exchanges, resilience incentives, risk pooling structures and international cooperation. With balanced reforms, cyber insurance can systematically enable enterprises to secure data assets commensurate with their rising economic and societal value.

Constitutional Safeguards for Digital Rights and Privacy

2024-04-30T12:34:09+03:00

The digital rights and privacy protections are emerging human rights concerns in the digital age. Uzbekistan's newly enacted constitution provides a general framework for civil liberties, but lacks specificity regarding digital contexts. This research examines the effectiveness of Uzbekistan's constitutional safeguards for digital rights and privacy, and identifies potential areas for improvement. The aim is to ensure robust protections aligned with international norms. A qualitative methodology analyzes constitutional provisions, legislation through doctrinal review and phenomenological approaches. Results reveal significant gaps in areas like data protection, consent requirements, and oversight of state surveillance compared to frameworks like the EU's GDPR. Recommendations include constitutional amendments explicitly guaranteeing digital rights, an independent data protection authority, enhanced enforcement mechanisms, and legal reforms codifying principles of data minimization and individual control over personal information. Implementing such measures is crucial for Uzbekistan to uphold digital rights, promote trust in the digital ecosystem, and contribute to preserving human dignity and autonomy in the digital era.

Legal Protection for Consumers Who Buy and Sell Used Goods on Facebook

2024-04-30T12:34:23+03:00

High consumer interest in purchasing used goods through platforms like Facebook, where the buyer is unknown, is evident. These goods are typically sourced from their original locations, which sometimes leads to consumer losses. The purpose of this research is to acquire knowledge and understanding of the legal protections available to consumers who purchase used goods on the Facebook platform. The research methods employed are normative, utilizing a regulatory legislation approach described as descriptive. This research focuses on analyzing and solving problems that occurred during the study. Consumer rights in these transactions are regulated under Article 4 of the Consumer Protection Act (UUPK), reinforced by the obligations of entrepreneurs in Article 7 of the UUPK. The sale of used goods is also addressed in Chapter 8, Paragraph 2 of the UUPK, which stipulates that entrepreneurs must not sell used goods without providing clear information. To prevent fraud involving stolen goods, consumers must adhere to Article 28 (1) of the ITE Act. Dispute resolution between consumers can be conducted through both litigation and non-litigation methods.
