Abstract
Privacy in relation to blockchain needs to be understood in the wider context of privacy. It is important because it supports freedom, dignity, autonomy, justice, and democracy. Privacy is consistent with the right to be forgotten, which is a human right established when the European Court of Justice. It encompasses diverse themes including the control of data and self-determination, restricting access to self and data, privacy and data as commodities that may be traded, privacy as a social good differing from context to context. A blockchain is an example of a recently emerged technology that was shaped by, and is now shaping social contexts in which economic transactions occur. Privacy and data protection laws around the world represent a real compliance challenge for public and private distributed implementations of blockchain technology.
