Data disclosing health information are sensitive and are therefore special protection in our legal system. Even recently the Privacy repeated that it is prohibited to disseminate data on health status and placed in a matter of urgency, the "block" of health data published on three websites, including that of the City of Rome. Here are the details.
"invalid", "son of invalid service" were the words, can provide information on health, which appeared on the web next to the names of some suitable competition for municipal police instructor in the list published on line.
Doubts about the legality of their spread had been reported to Guarantor by a citizen. With the "block" the City and the two companies that manage the sites had to obscure the health data of competitors is limited only to the storage, pending further investigation that the Ombudsman has begun to assess compliance with the arrangements for disseminating the list to Privacy Code.
injunction to block Al, to which the City of Rome has already observed, has reached the end of a first test which revealed a serious offense. Contrary to what is required by law, in fact, that prohibits the dissemination of health data, some of the titles of preference (disabled, children's pension for service, war, etc..) Shown next to the names of competitors were able to reveal the state of health of the participants or their family members.
These data are by their very presence on the Internet were, however, immediately accessible to anyone through a simple search of the kind undertaken in the network, including via the search engines. The City has complied with immediately by the decision of the Guarantor.
