Gloss to the Judgment of the Voivodship Administrative Court in Warsaw of 4 August 2022, file ref. no. II SA/Wa 542/22

The thesis expressed in the glossed judgment that the processing of personal data after the completion of the recruitment process is permissible and is based on the premise of a legitimate interest, which is carried out by the administrator (here the employer organizing the recruitment) or by a third party, is completely correct. However, the arguments justifying this position of the court ignore some, important from the point of view of the Constitution and the principles articulated in the Labour Code and the GDPR, premises supporting the legitimacy of repealing the decision issued by the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection. Additional premises justifying the issued ruling are of systemic importance and allow to consider the actions of the President of the Personal Data Protection Office as a manifestation of unequal treatment of entities that are addressees of constitutional freedoms and rights.
