No todo vale en Internet: los límites en el uso de datos personales

Spain’s data protection legislation, aligned with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), establishes a strict framework that prioritizes privacy over tracking or geolocation initiatives, even when they involve public figures. This pioneering approach distinguishes Spain from other markets, preventing business models based on the unlawful exposure of personal data and enabling legal sanctions against those who violate these fundamental rights. Location data are classified as high-risk due to their ability to identify and profile individuals, which requires rigorous impact assessments and explicit consent. Systematic surveillance without a legal basis constitutes a serious infringement, giving rise to both administrative liability through fines and civil liability for compensation, underscoring the need to configure location permissions proactively and restrictively. This issue is relevant to open data because it illustrates the mandatory ethical and legal limits when sharing geospatial information. To ensure that open data respect privacy, it is crucial to effectively anonymize location data, avoid enriching datasets in ways that could allow the re-identification of individuals, and ensure that transparency does not compromise citizens’ fundamental rights.
