  Abstract

The article considers the subject of clickstream data from a European/US perspective, taking into account the Data Protection Framework (Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC; Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications 2002/58/EC) and the US legal framework and in particular, the Wiretap Act U.S.C. § 2701 (2004) and related statutes. It examines the extent to which clickstream data is considered "personal data" within the Data Protection Directive and the implications to consumers and businesses.

Key Words: Clickstream data • personal data • Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC • Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications 2002/58/EC • Wiretap Act 18 U.S.C § 2701
