Personal data protection in the Spanish Judiciary: the 2018 Protocol on the Judiciary communications
Abstract
In this contribution we try to examine the main particularities of the right to personal data protection in the Spanish Judiciary, made up of judges and courts that, in the practice of its powers, process a large amount of personal data of the individuals involved in judicial cases (parties, witnesess). Moreover, we aim to connect the above mentioned right with the fundamental right to information, though analysing the main measures and recommendations set by the 2018 Protocol on the Judiciary Communications, developed by the Communication Desk of General Council of the Judiciary, so that judicial information, particularly the criminal one, comes to society in a truthful, clear, effective and neutral manner and taking into account the rights and freedoms of the individuals involved in the cases.
