The Privacy "tab, but with caution"
Daniele Mastrogiacomo
Rome-All regular. But the filing of mass we have been experiencing at least fifty years can not continue with the same criteria.
on us, on more than 95 million people, organizations, associations, industries, trade unions, political parties, sons, fathers, wives, grandparents and great-grandparents, the Carabinieri knows everything. Just being stopped once at a checkpoint in the straight to finish brainy Interior Ministry, the famous Ced. Without doing anything, not even a small infringement of the highway code.
After a year of investigation and careful analysis of the mechanisms used in gathering the information, the Office of the Ombudsman for Privacy Rights issued its ruling. Eight pages, put forth by the four essays that make up the bureau, in which calling on the government and parliament to bring order to a subject too delicate for the confidentiality of personal data. With a premise, important investigations carried out have not found the unlawful treatment of the information collected by the owner. There were no detours or misuse maybe blackmail, any data that belong to us. But this underlines the Office of the Ombudsman does not mean that the matter should not be regulated differently. How? Through a standard that defines the boundaries of the collection, use of information, their destruction, their selection.
there a law which established the Privacy Policy and this requires an adjustment by those who is called, for safety reasons, legal or public policy, to control the territory.
For administrative issues, the Ombudsman invited the Corps to use sources of regulations and allow interested parties the opportunity to access personal data.
also seems inadequate to the treatment area related to the defense and state security. The weapon must be able to operate, but there are strict laws which shall also state the military involved in the collection.
Then there is the chapter of the CED, the Data Processing Centre of the Ministry of Interior pains. It should not be a sort of bottomless pit into which flows all around. We need a criterion selection in the collection. The news or information are travasate must be relevant and related to criminal investigations or police. The same data must then be updated, changed or destroyed if no longer relevant.
The 95 million permanent practice, even in archives dell'Arma really seem excessive and the data they contain are in conflict with the Privacy Act. What to do? Rodotà has no doubts. Presidency of the Council and the Ministry of Defense must change the collection policy with a special law. The weapon must adapt and provide feedback on the change by February 28 next year.
Rome - "We have nothing to say," observes Colonel Gianfranco Linzi, head of external relations at the General Command of the Carabinieri. "Wait till you change the law."
The office of the talk of legal vacuum.
'Ombudsman for Privacy acknowledged that there was no unlawful conduct. The weapon has therefore always acted properly and is in good standing. "
The issue was also raised by one of your military. He gave you trouble?
"The criticisms were of a single a priori. His requests were not, but real complaints'
.
problem. however, exist.
problem. however, exist.
"If we had been accused of illegality. we would have acted promptly. We have recognized, however, not only good faith but conduct wholly regular. "
but we encourage you to change the system of collecting information.
"They ask us to change the system and criteria in collecting and sorting information. We have no difficulty in doing so and when we ask him. "
waiting?
"We are here. We are waiting for provisions to understand how we behave. "
The Guarantor has called you to edit the policy of collecting information.
"No. The Guarantor has described the regulatory gaps. But he turned to other institutions. When the government and parliament will change the current framework, we will adjust. "
And standing practices collected so far?
"will set the new standard."
Data collected from carbinieri
95 million practices standing in the archives of the Carabinieri
contain double and triple data and information relating to the same subject and his family up to the previous two generations
About citizens living and dead, political parties and movements associations, businesses, industries and unions political opinions, customs and habits in public esteem and reputation enjoyed.
The requests from the

The protagonist
Speak the appointment that has raised the case. Now likely to be driven
"I will pay, but I am satisfied"
Rome - "Yes, I'm satisfied. Even if you pay a heavy price for my fight citizen and servant of the State. " Valerio Mattioli, 40, pinned chose the Carabinieri, the military has led the Office of the Ombudsman to take a position on an issue that involves delicate and protect the privacy of everyone. But a year after his request for clarification, may exempt the holder from the gun. Virtually expulsion.
She believed that the information gathering was illegal. The Ombudsman says no.
"The Supervisor said that data collection is not unlawful. But he also said that there is no law regulating such collection. So if there is no law governing such a delicate matter, the treatment that makes these data is uneven. "
think that your care was founded?
"I believe so. The Guarantor is about standing practices. And these practices contained opinions on the reputation enjoyed in public, the political opinions of their relatives, attitudes, habits. I gather that this information, which possess authority to "shed light on the personality" of a particular person? In short, I think I was right when I asked if these methods were regular or not. "
E 'be punished?
"Four times. With days of delivery of rigor and now with a request for waiver by the owner. For poor performance. "
do it again?
"Sure. I do not hesitate to make the battles even though, apparently, for me, I'm lost. The important thing is to believe. I was able to clarify a key point that concerns us all. They asked me to stop, stop, stop. To make a career. I have asked a different question:
had to be the first to respect the law. "
"It requires new legislation"
Rome - "Are there any regulatory gaps." says Professor Ugo De Siervo, constitutional expert and board member of the Office of the Ombudsman for Privacy Rights. "And this requires a new discipline in the collection and use of data by the Carabinieri.
a striking figure, Professor: 95 million cards. She did not seem too much?
'E' as a hit. But consider that many of the practices are double or triple. Why is it useful to do a little 'order'.
What do you want the weapon?
"We have invited the Council Presidency and the Ministry of Defence to fill the current void in a regulatory framework governing the industry. You need role models more accurate. You can not go for any subsequent amendment only because it has always done so. "
The pronunciation of the Guarantor comes thanks to the insistence of a policeman who asked your opinion.
"We had over 15 requests for clarification, but there is no doubt that the pinned Mattioli had the merit to raise the issue."
His insistence was so positive.
"The weapon was actively engaged. But it is clear that the matter needs a change. Just think of the importance to our privacy information. It would count in a society like ours, how they can be used. "
Who should take action now?
"It is for the Government and Parliament to intervene. They are the institutional parties responsible. "
