Fairness definition

Fairness means treating the crime victim reasonably, even-handedly, and impartially.

Fairness also means that the data subject cannot be forced to give data on himself or to accept that data on him is being processed. Data controllers cannot misuse the information they might have. This requirement is also noticeable in the provision on the “consent” which sometimes must be given by the data subject in order to collect or process data on him. This consent must be given “freely”.

Fairness in SHAPES means that data subject’s data is processed in a way that individuals could reasonably expect and that it can be explained as to why the data is processed differently. Also, when developing services, SHAPES will consider how the processing may affect individuals. If any adverse impacts are detected, SHAPES will first try to find an option that does not cause harm to individuals. If there is no alternative solution, the potential adverse impact will be justified and explained. In practice, this analysis will be done as part of DPIA.
