THE UNAUTHORIZED PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA AND MISDEMEANOR LIABILITY UNDER THE LAW OF PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION

Abstract

The protection of personal data due to significant technological breakthroughs and the growing use of social networks, online services and similar modern conveniences is becoming increasingly difficult, both in the literal sense and in the legislative sense, especially when there is no information on which personal data in which cases can be requested and which can not. In this regard, some research indicates that a significant percentage of people are not familiar with the above-mentioned topic, but also that many of them have no special will to inform themselves. This is exactly what leads to additional issues, especially when it comes to various forms of misuse of personal data. In this research, the focus will be on two central issues, namely the unauthorized processing of data on the basis of the personal data protection, while the second question will relate to misdemeanor liability arising from violation of the mentioned law, all in order to achieve general and special prevention. The importance of considering this issue is not only in considering which data are not permitted and consideration of misdemeanor responsibility due to violation of the mentioned law, but also in raising awareness of the mentioned issue, preventive measures of protection, and indirectly it will be pointed to the collection of personal data on the law envisaged way.
