LABURPENA: Telekomunikazioen edo komunikazio elektronikoen sektorea etengabe dabil datuen babesa probatzen; are gehiago, sektoreak oinarrizko eskubide hori edukirik gabe uzten duela ikusiko dugu agian. Sareen interkonexioak, sare-operadoreak edo berehalako mezularitza-sistemak datu pertsonalekin gatazkan sar daitezke, trafikoari buruzko datuekin adibidez. Komunikazioen sekretua edo intimitatea urratzera irits daitezke. Izan ere, Telekomunikazioei buruzko Lege Orokorra, Datuak babesteko Legea, Europar Batasuneko araudia (datuak babesteari buruzko zuzentaraua, e-Privacy zuzentaraua, e-Privacy erregelamendu berri baten proposamena) eta Estatuko nahiz Europako gainerako araudiak saiatu dira sektore horretako datuak babesteko erregimena ezartzen, baina agian ez da erabat lortu. Horregatik aztertu behar da eratu den erregimen juridikoa nahikoa den eta, horrez gain, bateragarria den Datuak Babesteko Erregelamendu Orokorrarekin (DBEO) eta datu pertsonalak babesteari eta eskubide digitalak bermatzeari buruzko abenduaren 5eko 3/2018 Lege Organikoarekin (DPBEDBLO). ABSTRACT: The telecommunications sector (or electronic communications sector) is constantly putting data protection to the test and, it is possible, that we see how this sector empties this fundamental right out. This will be cases such as those of network interconnections, network operators or instant messaging services that may conflict with personal data, such as traffic data, and may even violate the right to respect for communications or for private and family life. Thus, the Spanish General Telecommunications Law, the Data Retention Law or European regulation such as the Data Retention Directive, the e-Privacy Directive, the proposal for a new e-Privacy Regulation (ePR) and other national and European regulations have attempted to build a regime that protects data protection in this sector, but it may not have been achieved at all. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze whether the legal regime built is sufficient and, in addition, if it is compatible with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and with the Organic Law 3/2018, of 5 December, on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights. RESUMEN: El sector de las telecomunicaciones o comunicaciones electrónicas pone constantemente a prueba la protección de datos y, es posible, que podamos ver cómo este sector vacía de contenido este derecho fundamental. Ello serán casos como los de las interconexiones de redes, operadores de red o sistemas de mensajería instantánea que pueden entrar en conflicto con datos personales, como los datos de tráfico, pudiendo llegar a vulnerar, incluso, el secreto de las comunicaciones o la intimidad. Así, la Ley General de Telecomunicaciones, la Ley de Conservación de Datos o regulación comunitaria como la Directiva sobre Conservación de Datos, la Directiva e-Privacy, la propuesta de un nuevo Reglamento e-Privacy y demás normativa nacional y europea han intentado construir un régimen que proteja la protección de datos en este sector, pero puede que no se haya conseguido del todo. Por ello, es preciso analizar si el régimen jurídico construido es suficiente y si, además, este es compatible con el Reglamento General de Protección de Datos (RGPD) y la Ley Orgánica 3/2018, de 5 de diciembre, de Protección de Datos Personales y Garantía de los Derechos Digitales (LOPDGDD).

During the pandemic of COVID-19 in April 2020 the Ministry of Health in Bulgaria began the administration of the Virusafe contact tracking application. With the Law on Emergency Measures and Actions, declared by a decision of the National Assembly of 13th March 2020 amendments to the Electronic Communications Act were adopted. The purpose of the legislative amendments was to provide access of the competent authorities to the localization data from the public electronic communication networks of the individuals, who have refused or do not fulfill the obligatory isolation or treatment under art. 61 of the Health Act. This publication aims to analyze the main features of mobile applications for tracking the contacts of infected persons, as well as the adopted legislative changes, comparing them with the standards of personal data protection provided in the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 and Directive 2002/58/EC on the right to privacy and electronic communications.

This new book provides an article-by-article commentary on the new EU General Data Protection Regulation. Adopted in April 2016 and applicable from May 2018, the GDPR is the centrepiece of the recent reform of the EU regulatory framework for protection of personal data. It replaces the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive and has become the most significant piece of data protection legislation anywhere in the world. This book is edited by three leading authorities and written by a team of expert specialists in the field from around the EU and representing different sectors (including academia, the EU institutions, data protection authorities, and the private sector), thus providing a pan-European analysis of the GDPR. It examines each article of the GDPR in sequential order and explains how its provisions work, thus allowing the reader to easily and quickly elucidate the meaning of individual articles. An introductory chapter provides an overview of the background to the GDPR and its place in the greater structure of EU law and human rights law. Account is also taken of closely linked legal instruments, such as the Directive on Data Protection and Law Enforcement that was adopted concurrently with the GDPR, and of the ongoing work on the proposed new E-Privacy Regulation.

Personal Interests

The study is concerned with the issue of mutual relationship between the failure to comply with the laws on personal data protection and regulations relating to the protection of personal interests, including in particular the right to privacy. The article presents the views held by the Supreme Court with respect to the possibility of considering acts infringing upon the provisions of the Personal Data Protection Act of 1997 (after 24 May 2018) and of the General Data Protection Regulation (after 25 May 2018) as violation of personal interests, such as the right to privacy. The author shared the view of the case law stating that, if in specifc circumstances the processing of personal data violates the right to privacy, the party concerned may seek remedy on the grounds of Articles 23 and 24 of the Polish Civil Code. This position isalso relevant after the entry into force of the GDPR which, in a comprehensive and exhaustive manner, directly applicable in all Member States, regulates the issue of liability under civil law for infringements of the provisions of the Regulation, however, according to the position expressed in professional literature, it does not exclude the concurrence of claims and violation of the provisions on the protection of personal interests caused by a specifc event. In case of improper processing of personal data, the remedies available under domestic law on the protection of personal interests may be of particular importance outside the subject matter scope of the GDPR applicability.

And Gender ◽

AbstractThe European Union (EU) faced high risks from personal data proliferation to individuals’ privacy. Legislation has emerged that seeks to articulate all interests at stake, balancing the need for data flow from EU countries with protecting personal data: the General Data Protection Regulation. One of the mechanisms established by this new law to strengthen the individual’s control over their data is the so-called “right to be forgotten”, the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of records. In gender transition, this right represents a powerful form of control over personal data, especially health data that may reveal a gender with which they do not identify and reject. Therefore, it is pertinent to discern whether the right to have personal data deleted—in particular, health data—is ethically acceptable in gender transition. Towards addressing the ethical dimensions of the right to be forgotten in this case, this study presents relevant concepts, briefly outlines history, ethics and law of records considering the evolution from paper to electronic format, the main aspects of identity construction and gender identity, and explores the relationship between privacy, data protection/information control and identity projection. Also, it discusses in gender transition the relation between “the right to self-determination”, “the right to delete”, and “the right to identity and individuality”. Conclusions on the ethical admissibility of the ‘right to be forgotten’ to control gender-affirming information are presented.

AEPD & Gonzalez and by the General Data Protection Regulation within the context of the processing of personal data on the Internet. The analysis provides the comparison of approach towards the notion between European and American jurisprudence and doctrine, in order to demonstrate the scale of difficulty in applying the concept in practice.

TRANSGENDER ATHLETES: THE BALANCE BETWEEN PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION AND THE FAIR COMPETITION PRINCIPLE

Sexual Identification ◽

The right of transgender athletes to participate in sports competitions no longer seems to be in question, even if this is a right only recently established. DSD (Disorders of Sexual Development), having a genetic nature, are more widespread than perceived (about one person affected every 2500 births). To these, we have to add all individuals whose sexual identification arises for psychological reasons. Given that, it is obvious how the question is much more important (in numerical terms) of what is currently emerging. We want to focus on the hard balance between personal data protection and the fair competition principle, after the entry into force of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), on 25 May 2018. According to GDPR rules, it is prohibited to process data concerning health or sex life. Thus, data regarding sexual identity and/or any changes in gender-related sex fall under special protection. In terms of sports law, IOC Consensus Meeting on Sex Reassignment and Hyperandrogenism (November 2015) reformed previous Stockholm Consensus on Sex Reassignment in Sports (1973). According to it, the completion of surgical anatomical changes is no longer a sine qua non condition, being sufficient the declaration of the gender by athletes. Recalling how athletes have to compete according to the fair competition principle, we wonder if European regulation collides with the respect of this principle. How can we balance them? How can we solve this conflict under the GDPR rules, coordinated with the norms of legal sports systems?

The new European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation aims to adapt children’s right to privacy to the ‘digital age’. It explicitly recognizes that children deserve specific protection of their personal data, and introduces additional rights and safeguards for children. This article explores the dilemmas that the introduction of the child-tailored online privacy protection regime creates – the ‘empowerment versus protection’ and the ‘individualized versus average child’ dilemmas. It concludes that by favouring protection over the empowerment of children, the Regulation risks limiting children in their online opportunities, and by relying on the average child criteria, it fails to consider the evolving capacities and best interests of the child.
