Implicaciones del derecho a la protección de datos personales.

Abstract

Technological advancement, the automatic data processing and easy access to information have meant that personal data, which generate information, have acquired economic, political and legal relevance. The conception that we can determine our privacy freely, that we have control and we are the absolute owners of our data gets a bit blurred. Currently, there are companies, governments and businesses interested in the advantages of technology and information. Entire businesses formed around the sale and negotiation of personal data, such as data brokers. This is also influenced by the advantage that companies and administrations have in capturing personal data, it can be through the delivery of a technological service or the purchase and sale of licenses or simply information collected. These ways of capturing personal data have highlighted the vulnerability of the systems that contain the data, the lack of regulation and protection of private information or privacy, the deficiency in the handling data, caused by technological companies and the government. For the same reason, that these are current technologies, there are not many global consensuses or research that shows which data protection system would be the most efficient for this management. Comparative legislation takes an approach of protection of privacy and self-determination by strengthening the consent of the owner at the time of delivering the information. Along with provisions in favor of reinforcing the responsibility of the entities that handle the data in the event of misuse arising from this treatment. Due to the economic, political and legal relevance of our data, there should be clear legislation that makes us aware of the adequate protection of our personal data. Due to the imminent technological vulnerabilities that the security of the systems has with respect to our personal information. In order to adopt positions, on the decision-making of our information. The European Union issued the General Data Protection Regulation, which regulates measures for the handling of data and personal information, something similar tries to do the Organic Law on the protection of personal data that is currently being discussed in the National Assembly. This research aims to analyze the protection of personal data, what are the challenges imposed by the digital age, the security of the systems that handle our data, the treatment that can be given to our information and what the mechanisms for its protection may be. Issues that can be influenced by a country that is not so technologically advanced.
