Protection of personal data based on the example of the Senator’s office

The concept of personal data protection is currently a very important topic. This is the result of the entry into force of the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free flow of such data, which came into force on May 25 this year. Personal data and their protection is an area that applies to every citizen. It should be stated that there are more and more ways of collecting data. It also involves a special need to protect them. There are many reasons that imply the need for a broad regulation of personal data protection rules. A senational office is one of the places where personal data is constantly collected and which, during its functioning, is obliged to ensure data security. The processing of personal data by the Senator’s office is related to the tasks performed by them, including the basic duty which is to provide services for the senator. For the proper processing of data, there are many different documents, including a privacy policy that comprehensively defi nes the protection of personal data in the senator’s office. This article analyzes the law on the performance of a deputy and senator’s mandate, which is the basis for the Senator’s duties. The legal acts have been juxtaposed with several items in the literature presenting the position of the representatives of the doctrine. Undoubtedly, this article is based on the legal-dogmatic method.

The paper is an attempt to diagnose the visible phenomenon, though still informal, of forced privatization of tasks assigned to law enforcement authorities within the current Polish legal system of counteracting money laundering and financing terrorism. It is also an attempt to assess the situation when law enforcement and supervisory institutions as well as cooperating bodies marginalize their duties connected to preventive and investigative activities. The author advances the thesis that shifting the point of gravity of the indicated actions to the obligated entities (mainly of a non-public character) leads to an unacceptable, from the point of view of constitutional principles, threat to freedoms and rights and constitutes an obligation that does not fit into the conditions specified in art. 31 of the Constitution. The article is a picture of reality.
