Ombudsman for Data Protection has identified certain procedures techniques that publishers have to do to respect the privacy of people mentioned in articles.
Ombudsman for Data Protection has identified a few technical details that publishers have to do to prevent search engines automatically appear in the personal data contained in the archives of newspapers. Even those outdated or incomplete. Objective: To protect the privacy of individuals.
The Authority has done so following a number of complaints against a publisher who has made available to the search engine part of the historical archive of his newspaper.
who filed an appeal complaining the fact that, by typing its name on a common search engine, get news published many years earlier.
One of the complainants, in particular, involved in a lawsuit and later acquitted, said the research results did not reflect the positive outcome of legal proceedings. In other cases, some people who had changed occupation were still associated with the previous positions.
The applicants had requested the cancellation or modification of data.
The Authority has not accepted the request of interested parties, but considered their legitimate request to see their current protected condition.
And so he decided to impose the publisher of the ad hoc technical criteria, such as, for example, preparing a version of the article that does not show the personal data of applicants if the piece can be removed automatically search engines outside the site, or a system that can guarantee that the news can be traced only by using the search engine inside the newspaper or website.
