Articoli Correlati: E.U. - sanctions to Russia - personal data protection

Due to Russian aggression against Ukraine, the European Union has introduced an obligation to freeze all funds and economic resources of natural and legal persons on certain lists. At the same time, E.U. regulations stipulate that, all natural and legal persons are required to immediately supply information which would facilitate compliance with the regulations, such as accounts and frozen amounts. This obligation, without any doubts, has certain implications for data protection. Any processing of personal data should comply with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data. It is each time necessary to properly identify the basis for the processing of personal data and to ensure that personal data of an individual are not processed excessively, i.e. to a greater extent than it is necessary to achieve purposes of the processing.
