  • CURIA – Documenti

    Il diritto dell’Unione Europea vieta:

  • a) una normative nazionale la quale preveda, per finalità di lotta contro la criminalità, una conservazione generalizzata e indifferenziata dell’insieme dei dati relativi al traffico e dei dati relativi all’ubicazione di tutti gli abbonati e utenti iscritti riguardante tutti i mezzi di comunicazione elettronica.

  • b) una normativa nazionale, la quale disciplini la protezione e la sicurezza dei dati relativi al traffico e dei dati relativi all’ubicazione, e segnatamente l’accesso delle autorità nazionali competenti ai dati conservati, senza limitare, nell’ambito della lotta contro la criminalità, tale accesso alle sole finalità di lotta contro la criminalità grave, senza sottoporre detto accesso ad un controllo preventivo da parte di un giudice o di un’autorità amministrativa indipendente, e senza esigere che i dati di cui trattasi siano conservati nel territorio dell’Unione.

UK: Court of Appeal (England and Wales) – Le informazioni in un database non possono essere oggetto di “possesso”.

Your Response Ltd v Datateam Business Media Ltd [2014] EWCA Civ 281 (14 March 2014)

  • (…) Whereas it is possible to transfer physical possession of tangible property by simple delivery, it is not possible to deal with intangible property in the same way. (…).  Indeed, I do not think that the concept of possession in the hitherto accepted sense has any meaning in relation to intangible property. / In addition there are indications elsewhere that information of the kind that makes up a database (usually, but not necessarily, maintained in electronic form), if it constitutes property at all, does not constitute property of a kind that is susceptible of possession or of being the subject of the tort of conversion. (…) The nature of the protection accorded to the makers of databases by the 1988 Act and the Regulations reflects a clear recognition that databases do not represent tangible property of a kind that is capable of forming the subject matter of the torts that are concerned with an interference with possession”.

German court rules against Facebook’s “Friend Finder” – Lexology

  • German court rules against Facebook’s “Friend Finder” – Lexology

    “The Berlin Court of Appeal upheld a lower court ruling that Facebook’s “Friend Finder” function is unlawful. The Court agreed with the Berlin Regional Court’s 2012 decision that the Friend Finder function violates both German data protection law and unfair trade law, and re-affirmed the invalidity of several clauses in Facebook’s privacy notice and other online terms and conditions.”

Il Parlamento Europeo vota in favore della proposta della Commissione per un nuovo Regolamento Privacy

Il Parlamento dell’Unione Europea, prima di salutarci, approva (con poche modifiche) la proposta della Commissione per un nuovo Regolamento sulla protezione dei dati personali.

Ecco un assaggio dell’art. 1 del Regolamento, quello in cui si fissano gli obiettivi… :

  • 1. This Regulation lays down rules relating to the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and rules relating to the free movement of personal data.
  • (…)
  • 3. The free movement of personal data within the Union shall neither be restricted nor prohibited for reasons connected with the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data.

Chiaro no?

Ora la parola passa al Consiglio dell’UE, non se ne parla prima dell’estate.
