Da privacidade à transparência: desafios da interação entre agentes públicos e privados na gestão de informações pessoais / From privacy to transparency: challenges of the public and private interactions in the management of personal information / De la privacidad a la transparencia: desafíos de la interacción entre agentes públicos y privados en la gestión de informaciones personales

Preocupações com a proteção da privacidade marcaram a construção da jovem democracia brasileira. Regras de transparência e publicidade complementam as garantias presentes na Constituição Federal visando garantir controle social sobre as atividades do Estado e prevenir abusos como os ocorridos durantea ditadura militar. Contraditoriamente, porém, com o avanço das tecnologias digitais e da internet assim como das iniciativas de cidades inteligentes, a balança parece estar invertida: as atividades do Estado -inclusive na área de segurança pública e vigilância - seguem secretas e pouco sujeitas a escrutínio público, enquanto cidadãos encontram-se cada vez mais expostos a agentes públicos e privados. Ao mesmo tempo, crescem as preocupações com o poder de vigilância adquirido pelas empresas de tecnologia da informação e comunicação. Esta nota discutirá a questão, trazendo exemplos de como a interação público-privada traz novos riscos à privacidade, inclusive no que diz respeito a seu aspecto de bem social.

Concern about the protection of privacy marked the construction of the young Brazilian democracy. Transparency and publicity rules complement the guarantees contained in the Federal Constitution to guarantee social control over State activities and prevent abuses like the ones occurred during years of military dictatorship. Contradictorily, however, with the advancement of digital technologies and the internet and of smart city initiatives, the situation seems to be reversed: State activities - including those developed in the area of public security and surveillance - remain secret and little subject to public scrutiny,while citizens are increasingly exposed to public and private actors. At the same time, concern about the surveillance power acquired by information and communication technology companies is growing. This paper will discuss this issue, bringing examples of how public-private interaction brings new risks to privacy, including with regard to its aspect of social good.

Preocupaciones por la protección de la privacidad marcaron la construcción de la joven democracia brasileña. Normas de transparencia y publicidad complementan las garantías presentes en la Constitución Federal para garantizar el control social sobre las actividades del Estado y evitar abusos como los ocurridos durante los años de la dictadura militar. Paradójicamente, sin embargo, con el avance de las tecnologías digitales e de la Internet y de las iniciativas de ciudades inteligentes, la situación parece estar invertida: mientras las actividades del Estado – incluso con respeto a la seguridad y la vigilancia - siguen secretas ypoco sujetas al escrutinio público, los ciudadanos tienen su privacidad cada vez más sin protección frente a agentes privados y públicos. Al mismo tiempo, existe una creciente preocupación por el poder de vigilancia adquirido por las empresas de tecnología de información y comunicación. Este artículo discutirá estetema, presentando ejemplos de cómo la interacción público-privada trae nuevos riesgos para la privacidad, incluso con respecto a su aspecto de bien social.

Managing disclosure of personal information: An opportunity to enhance supported employment.

OBJECTIVE: To first provide an overview of studies that explore mental health disclosure in the workplace; including factors that influence the decision to disclose, and differing approaches to disclosure (binary, multidimensional, and evolving and ongoing). Second, to provide a critical overview of existing tools designed to help clients manage their mental health disclosure decisions. METHOD: Electronic searches of PubMed, PsycINFO and ScienceDirect were undertaken, excluding all articles published prior to 1990. The following search terms were used: mental health disclosure, employment, severe and persistent mental illness, psychosis, schizophrenia, supported employment, individual placement and support (IPS). RESULTS: We found that mental health disclosure involves a complex decision-making process, and yet clients of IPS supported employment are currently provided with little structured guidance on how to manage their personal information in the workplace. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: More extensive investigations are required of existing mental health disclosure tools before they can be developed into a standardized intervention for practitioners. However, preliminary evidence suggests that facilitating better disclosure decisions and management of personal information is a promising area of future research. This line of investigation is likely to find ways to enhance competitive employment outcomes in supported employment for people with severe and persistent mental illness.
