Anyone who knows the rules on data protection think we have no idea of \u200b\u200bthe subject or directly, we have gone crazy to write the title of this post. However, following a resolution of the English Agency for Data Protection (AEPD) that have given us, we can say this without any problem.
This resolution reflected that, to perform the registration a forum , are set apart as "username", "confirm email address " and "password." However, for the AEPD, "the data being requested do not have to identify the person that makes the fact that normally occurs in this type of forum in which the affected hides behind an alias or conflicting data identifiable with the holder. " This sentence deserves to be framed must consider two aspects:
- First, understand the Agency, as "normally" in these forums " the affected hides behind an alias, can not be identifiable to the facilitator. It is rather curious that the phrase itself is accepting the opposite possibility: if" normally "used an alias, it means that there will be occasions, albeit abnormal, which can provide a real name. That is, the same resolution granting the possibility (quite real, otherwise) that used, for example, the name of the person, for which not think it necessary to go into identifying capacity for one person.
- On the other hand, as noted earlier, one of the data provided on the registration of the forum is the e-mail address . Is an interpretation rather than established by the English Agency for Data Protection to consider the email as a personal data, even in those cases where the address can not directly identify a person (eg , in an address like arhkjdfasd@gmail.com). So what is said "Forever", as you can read this well-known legal report, which said that "even in those cases where the email address does not appear to display data related to the individual account holder [...] e-mail address will necessarily referenced to a specific domain, so that identification may be made by consulting the owner of the server that manages the domain, but this can be considered which carries a disproportionate effort on the part of those who made the identification ". However, returning to the resolution we comment, now it appears that the email address "does not need to identify the person." And they are so wide, as it somehow.
not yet recovered from my amazement, however this outrageous decision, I urge the perpetrators of forums to consider that the collection of data made for registration in their forums is within the scope of the Data Protection Act and therefore , take appropriate action.
