CUC 2005 G2 Katerina Dulčić - Web publishing and privacy data protection
The author gives the definition of personal data and the distinction of sensitive
personal data and normal personal data. This distinction is important for the consequences for
elaborating personal data.
Although there were some doubts, publishing data on Internet pages is considered
elaboration of personal data by electronic means, and therefore it is subjected to the laws on
personal data protection. These laws, within the European Union, are obliged to respect the
provisions provided by the Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal
data and on the free movement of such data.
