A invisibilidade dos data brokers à luz do regulamento geral de proteção de proteção de dados:
| Resumo: | With the internet, individuals are more connected and society is increasingly immersed in a data-driven economy. With access to services, especially online, a huge amount of data is generated, which has attracted the interest of companies such as data brokers. These companies collect personal information about individuals, process it and classify it according to various parameters, such as behavioral, economic, etc. After enriching the data or classifying individuals, brokers sell the information to different economic sectors for different purposes. In order to ensure greater protection for individuals, the General Data Protection Regulation establishes a series of criteria and principles to be obeyed in the processing of personal data. Naturally, this regulation directly impacts the activity of data brokers, which are characterized by a lack of transparency and, in many cases, the illicit processing of personal data. There is some interest on the part of controlling authorities in regulating this activity due to the risks to which data subjects are exposed. The Regulation and other complementary legislation can be important tools to safeguard the rights of holders, however, they may not be effective enough to regulate the activity of data intermediaries. |
