The fast development and use of new information and communication technologies (especially, the Internet) has changed traditional ways and tools of electoral propaganda and information of political parties and candidates in electoral campaigns. The use of new technologies in electoral campaigns carried out by political parties raises serious conflicts with voters personal data safeguards (especially when using citizens personal data to send them political messages through emails, mobile phone messages, voice messages, automated phone calls, etc.). This research is focused on answering key issues as how to make data protection right compatible with direct and personalized campaign or how to avoid that technological development breaches the main principles of the right to data protection in the electoral process.El rápido desarrollo y profuso uso de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y comunicación, especialmente de Internet, han transformado las formas tradicionales de realizar campaña electoral por parte de los partidos y de los candidatos. El uso de las TICs permite llegar al electorado de forma personalizada, directa, económica, incisiva y poco controlada jurídicamente. Sin embargo, el uso de nuevas tecnologías dirigidas a captar el sufragio pone en jaque el derecho a la protección de los datos personales de los electores. Su uso plantea serias dudas sobre la garantía de los principios de transparencia, objetividad e igualdad de armas entre los contendientes políticos en el proceso electoral. La captación masiva de datos personales y su tratamiento y uso indebido sin el previo conocimiento y consentimiento expreso de los afectados plantea serios problemas jurídicos a los que el ordenamiento no ofrece respuestas adecuadas. Ni la LOREG ni la LOPD, ni su normativa de desarrollo, ofrecen adecuadas respuestas a los retos del futuro inmediato. El presente trabajo trata de dar respuestas a los conflictos jurídicos que se plantean y avanza propuestas de reforma de la legislación referida.

SUMMARY Legislators legislate as needs arise; it is the present moment and society itself, through its demands, which sets the path and provides them with the keys as to what matters to legislate on and what aspects need to be developed in greater detail. Contemporary societies try, with greater or lesser success, to adapt to the changes that are taking place, both those reflected in daily customs and habits, and those related to the generation, dissemination and use of information and knowledge. Today's society consumes and handles an excessive volume of information and data, often without assessing its veracity or analysing the source from which it comes, without considering the importance of the data it provides at any given time, and much less thinking about the consequences that misuse of such data may have for privacy, for example. These are issues that, despite being the order of the day, have already given cause for concern. A fact that is reflected in an increasingly prolix jurisprudence. An example of this, as we will have the opportunity to point out below, is the SAN of 6 April 2018, which, with regard to the problems that arise in relation to medical records, highlights the importance of defending the right to the protection of personal data and the need to obtain consent in an appropriate manner. In these times of pandemic, it is important to seek a suitable approach and to know some fundamental aspects of the aforementioned right to data protection, starting from such extremely important concepts as: personal data or consent itself. Moreover, the development of this right, so much questioned lately due to the use of COVID applications, in terms of the possible effects on privacy or image, or any of the controversies that are arising around data protection in the management of the coronavirus, almost forces us to think about its limits. In this respect, we must bear in mind that many of the answers to the questions that are being raised about the problems associated with current practices lie in the legitimising bases of data processing. In this study, I conclude that despite the great importance of some personality rights, including privacy, honour or self-image, and among which is the right to data protection, the right that deserves the greatest protection is the right to life. Let us not forget that the function of law is to serve the person to whom the reason for its existence must be attributed.

Esta revision se produce al albur de la continua evolucion de las nuevas tecnologias. En los ultimos anos se han subrayado de manera especial los riesgos que producen los buscadores que se utilizan en Internet para encontrar informacion. Entre estos riesgos cabe subrayar el hecho de que cuando una informacion se incluye en Internet esta queda a disposicion de los usuarios y el que a traves de los buscadores esa informacion se pondra en relacion constantemente con el titular de la misma. Los buscadores condenan a que una persona quede vinculada perpetuamente a una informacion y esta circunstancia puede producir graves perjuicios, sobre todo cuando el contenido de la informacion es negativo. Precisamente, para evitar estos perjuicios se reconoce el denominado derecho al olvido en Internet. Se ha discutido mucho en torno a este derecho, sobre todo a partir de que el Tribunal de Justicia de la Union Europea reconociera expresamente su existencia. Es el contenido de este derecho el que se va a analizar en este trabajo. ABSTRACT: The fundamental right to the personal data protection is a faculty in permanent revision. This revision is at the mercy of the continuous development of new technologies. Last years the risks produced by the search engines which are used to find information have especially been emphasized. Among the risks it can be emphasized the fact that when an information is included in internet it remains at the user’s disposal and that by means of the search engines that information will constantly put in relation with the holder of it. Search engines condemn a person to be perpetually linked to an information and that circumstance can produce serious harm, especially when the content of that information is negative. Exactly, in order to avoid those damages it is been acknowledged the right to forget in Internet, There has been a lot of discussion about this right, especially after the European Court of Justice recognized specifically its existence. The content of that right will be analyzed in this work.

The City

In digital cities, urban space integrates physical and digital worlds. Information and communication technologies, often controlled by private companies, become ubiquitous, not least to capture and process (personal) data. While private governance can reconfigure public values and relations between public institutions and citizens, the question arises who decides what cities become, whose interests they serve. This paper presents ongoing research about the Right to the City (Lefebvre, 1968) and the right to personal data protection, guided by a social constructivist perspective and the methodological framework of actor-network-theory. As part of a four-year research track, we conducted an empirical cross-case analysis of urban data processing projects affected by the GDPR. The aim was to answer the question of how ‘users’ of cities can be represented meaningfully in processes that shape cities by means of those two rights. To do so, we interviewed people directly involved in Belgian ‘smart’ city projects. The main results of this research show that the two rights can be complementary in fostering agency and protecting citizen interests in technologically enhanced, citizen-centric cities. Data protection impacts smart city developments, but true agency of citizens as in the Right to the City remains limited. We will discuss why especially interdisciplinary research is required to further understanding in this complex, cross-domain environment and to lower barriers to citizen inclusion in practice.

The Right

The right to privacy is one of the fundamental human rights that serves to realize a man as a social being and protect the private spheres of their life. Even though this right can be looked at in different ways, due to the modern development of information and communication technologies, it is largely related to personal data and their availability to other persons. In that sense, the right to privacy is also protected via personal data protection. The basis for such protections in Serbian law has already been implemented in the Constitution of Serbia, and by adopting a new Personal Data Protection Law, the legislator has shown their determination to intensify and expand that protection. As it relates to criminal justice protection, a separate criminal offence of unauthorized collection of personal data is prescribed in Article 146 of the Criminal Code. The authors of this scientific paper will try to expose the threat to the right to privacy and personal data, and to give a clearer picture of how criminal justice protection of these values is realized in the Serbian law by presenting the elements of the aforementioned crime.

The Right

In recent years, many governments increased transparency, publicity and free access in their activities. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are seen as a powerful tool to reduce “public diseases” such as low citizen trust, bad performance, low accountability and corruption. While some of these efforts have received a considerable attention, the balance between the value of transparency and the necessity of protecting individual’s personal rights has not been widely considered. It is an obvious fact that administrative records and documents may contain personal data, so it has become necessary to guarantee citizens’ privacy and respect the principles set forth in the European legislation. Information can indeed become more damaging if spread on the web rather than through conventional channels. Therefore, personal identity has to be protected through the removal of information which it is no longer necessary to process. In this scenario, the present work analyses the main measures public administrative bodies are required to implement, regardless of the purposes for which the information is posted online. The analysis conducted will be a scholar reflection based on Directive 95/46/EC and recent “Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament ad of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation)”. The paper will introduce a perspective concerning three different topics, namely the right to personal data protection, the data quality and the principle of proportionality. The road map will be as follows: to clarify the notion of data quality, to analyze the link between this principle and the value of transparency of public administrative activities and finally to introduce the dimension of the protection of personal data as a relative and not as an absolute right.

Technological devices are becoming more and more integrated in the management and control of traffic in big cities. The population perceives the benefits provided by these systems, and, therefore, citizens usually have a favorable opinion of them. However, emerging countries, which have fewer available infrastructures, could present a certain lack of trust. The objective of this work is to detect the level of knowledge and predisposition towards the use of new technologies in the transportation field of the Dominican Republic. For this study, the National Survey on Mobility was administered to a sample of Dominican citizens, proportional to the ONE census and to sex, age and province. The knowledge of ITS topics, as well as the use of mobile applications for mobility, are scarce; however, there was a significant increase that can be observed in only one year. Moreover, technology is, in general, positively assessed for what concerns the improvement of the traffic field, even though there is a lack of predisposition to provide one’s personal data, which is necessary for these devices. The process of technological development in the country must be backed up by laws that protect the citizens’ privacy. Thus, technologies that can improve road safety, mobility and sustainability can be implemented in the country.

Mūsdienās tiesības uz privāto dzīvi nepieciešamas ikvienā demokrātiskā sabiedrībā, un šo tiesību iekļaušana konstitūcijā juridiski garantē fiziskas personas rīcības brīvību un vienlaikus arī citu – valsts pamatlikumā noteikto – cilvēka tiesību īstenošanu [5]. Personas datu aizsardzības institūts tika izveidots, izpratnes par tiesību uz personas privātās dzīves neaizskaramību saturu paplašinot 20. gadsimta 70. gados, kad vairāku Eiropas valstu valdības uzsāka informācijas apstrādes projektus, piemēram, tautas skaitīšanu u. c. Informācijas tehnoloģiju attīstība ļāva arvien vairāk informācijas par personām glabāt un apstrādāt elektroniski. Viena no tiesību problēmām bija informācijas vākšana par fizisku personu un tiesību uz privātās dzīves neaizskaramību ievērošana. Lai nodrošinātu privātās dzīves aizsardzību, atsevišķas Eiropas valstis pēc savas iniciatīvas pieņēma likumus par datu aizsardzību. Pirmie likumi par personas datu aizsardzību Eiropā tika pieņemti Vācijas Federatīvajā Republikā, tad Zviedrijā (1973), Norvēģijā (1978) un citur [8, 10]. Ne visas valstis pieņēma likumus par datu aizsardzību vienlaikus, tāpēc Eiropas Padome nolēma izstrādāt konvenciju, lai unificētu datu aizsardzības noteikumus un principus. Nowadays, the right to privacy is indispensable in every democratic society and inclusion of such rights in the constitution, guarantees legally freedom of action of a natural person and, simultaneously, implementation of other human rights established in the fundamental law of the state. The institute of personal data protection was established by expanding the understanding of the content of the right to privacy in the 70’s of the 19th century, when the government of several European countries initiated information processing projects, such as population census etc. For the development of information technology, more and more information on persons was kept and processed in electronic form. One of the legal problems was gathering of information on natural persons and the right to privacy. In order to ensure the protection of privacy, separate European countries, on their own initiative, established a law on data protection. The first laws on the protection of personal data in Europe were established in the Federal Republic of Germany, then in Sweden (1973), Norway (1978) and elsewhere. Not all countries adopted laws on data protection at the same time, so the Council of Europe decided to elaborate a convention to unify data protection rules and principles.

The Impact

The development of new technologies also has an impact on human rights. In the previous “epochs” of global information society, it was stated that that traditional rights can be exercised online. For instance, in 2012 (and again in 2014 and 2016), the UN Human Rights Council emphasized that ‘the same rights granted to people, so to speak, in an “offline” manner, must be protected online as well’. This, in its turn, implicitly brought to the reality that the new technetronic society did not create new rights. Though, we should take into consideration that in the digital world national legislative norms that guarantee the confidentiality of personal data often do not catch up with the technological development and, thus, can’t ensure confidentiality online. Therefore, the impact of digitalization on human rights within the frames of international and national laws should be broadly analysed and studied. The article’s objective is to analyze the impact of new technologies on human rights in the context of the right to be forgotten and right to privacy. Because the development of new technologies is more closely linked to the security of personal data. With the formation of the right to be forgotten, it is the issue of ensuring the confidentiality of certain contents of personal data as a result of the influence of the time factor. The authors conclude that, the right to be forgotten was previously defended more in the context of the right to privacy. However, they cannot be considered equal rights. The right to be forgotten stems from a person’s desire to develop and continue his or her life independently without being the object of criticism for any negative actions he or she has committed in the past. If the right to privacy contains generally confidential information, the right to be forgotten is understood as the deletion of known information at a certain time and the denial of access to third parties. Thus, the right to be forgotten is not included in the right to privacy, and can be considered an independent right. The point is that the norms of the international and national documents, which establish fundamental human rights and freedoms, do not regulate issues related to the right to be forgotten. The right to be forgotten should be limited to the deletion of information from the media and Internet information resources. This is not about the complete destruction of information available in state information systems. Another conclusion of authors is that the media and Internet information resources sometimes spread false information. In this case, there will be no content of the right to be forgotten. Because the main thing is that the information that constitutes the content of the right to be forgotten must be legal, but after some time it has lost its significance. The scope of information included in the content of the right to be forgotten should not only be related to the conviction, but also to other special personal data (for example, the fact of divorce).
