Statute overview

About this statute

El responsable del fichero y quienes intervengan en el tratamiento de datos personales deben guardar secreto profesional y custodiar esos datos, incluso después de terminar su relación con el titular o responsable del fichero. Personal data may be shared with a third party only for purposes tied to the legitimate functions of the sender and recipient, and with the data subject’s prior consent unless a listed exception applies. A third party may access data when needed to provide a service to the controller. Processor services must be set out in a written contract, followed only as instructed, and data must not be used for other purposes, disclosed to others, or kept without the required security measures. After the service ends, the data must be destroyed or returned. Las personas pueden impugnar ciertas decisiones basadas solo en tratamiento de datos personales, y tienen derecho a no sufrir decisiones con efectos jurídicos de ese tipo y a obtener información sobre los criterios y el programa usados. Any person may consult the data protection register to learn whether personal data processing exists, its purposes, and the identity of the controller; the register is public and free.
