In 2014, 628 measures were adopted collegial. The Authority for Personal Data Protection has provided feedback to 4,894 between questions, complaints and reports with specific reference to the following areas: telephone marketing (up sharply); consumer credit; video surveillance; debt collection; insurance; labor relations; journalism; building.

I was determined – still emerges from the Annual Report presented to Parliament – 222 appeals, which are mainly banks and finance companies; public and private employers; marketing activities; publishers (including television); insurance companies, telephone operators and telematics; credit information; property administrators. They were carried out 385 inspections, carried out also with the help of the core privacy of the Financial Police; administrative violations in question were 577.

In Jobs Act no to invasive forms of control
“It is desirable that the decree being examined by Parliament knows how to sort the changes made possible by innovations in a framework of safeguards to prevent unwarranted and invasive forms of control, in accordance with the powers and constraints of European law. ” So the president of the guarantor for the protection of personal data, Antonello Soro, in relation to the news provided in the Jobs Act in monitoring remote workers through technological tools. “In labor relations – said Soro – the growing use of information technology business organization, the only form of geolocation and intelligent cameras have blurred the line – a clear time – between work and private life. A deeper monitoring of systems and tools must not result in an undue profiling of people working. Must be more and more the need to combine business efficiency with the protection of rights, “concluded the Guarantor. Even the chairman of the House Laura Boldrini, the greeting of presentation, had hoped during the parliamentary scrutiny, “the opportunity to open a debate to clarify the doubts that have emerged” in the field, in fact, of remote controls.

Enough with the media pillory interceptions
Serve ‘a balance in relations between investigative requirements, information and privacy, in a context of general media coverage of justice. ” The Guarantor of privacy Antonello Soro is back on interceptions and in particular on the risks of “shame” that confuse “the proper exercise of freedom of the press with sensationalism.” The principle of materiality of the information, remember Soro, is “broken by the disclosure (often in violation of the rules on advertising of investigations sanctioned the Code of Procedure) to excerpts or even the full text of acts d ‘ investigation (interrogation in prison, interception), functional to satisfy the curiosity of the public but not the real information needs with respect to the proceedings. All with damage, often irreparable, for the third – even minor, sometimes victims of the crime – the existence of which is thus stripped and poured in the network, even forever. ” The Ombudsman claims to have “represented to the Government the need for a balance in the relationship between investigative requirements, information and privacy, in a context of general media coverage of justice.”

Via the names from the judgments online
Ensure ‘synergy between privacy and transparency “in decisions published online, in particular deindicizzandole, that is taking away from the engines search, and obscuring the names: to ask is the Guarantor for privacy, Antonello Soro, in the Annual Report to Parliament. The Guarantor acknowledges that ‘the publication on the web of valuable data, such as those from a judgment and from the principles that you have established is, in fact, undoubtedly the most “democratic” because it reaches potentially all citizens, providing a wealth important information. But this ease in access – extraordinary resource for individuals and institutions – is also, paradoxically, the greatest source of risk of online publications, subject indexing, decontextualized reproduction, alteration, and thus in no way be assimilated to printed publications ». Hence the proposal of deindicizzare judgments from general search engines, “so as to combine the principle of publicity of the trial – and his final act – the confidentiality of the parties in any way involved,” but also to obscure “names present “.
