The Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection carried out an inquiry in the public utilities of the City of Belgrade about the implementation of the Law on Personal Data Protection, in order to establish the facts relating to the legal basis and purpose of processing of service users' personal data.
The Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection issued a decision ordering the Republic Geodetic Authority (RGA) to suspend personal data processing carried out in front offices by capturing video images of present citizens and broadcasting the video stream over the Internet (live streaming).
In a letter addressed to Ana Brnabic, Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection pointed out the worrisome inadequate attitude of the Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government towards its obligations stemming from the Law on Free Access to Information of Public Importance and the necessity to completely change such an attitude.
The Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Processing sent a letter to the Republic Public Prosecutor's Office to inform that body about the results of an inspection of compliance with the Law on Personal Data Protection he had conducted in connection with the processing of nursing mothers' personal data by the company Care Direct pursuant to cooperation agreements signed with multiple medical institutions across Serbia. The Commissioner enclosed the Inspection Report and all other relevant documents obtained during the inspection procedure, to enable the Prosecutor's Office to act within its mandate.
The results of this inspection seem to indicate that in quite a few cases the signatures of nursing mothers on the personal data processing forms might be unauthentic, i.e. forged.
