Legitimation

Article 6 of Regulation 2016/679 (EU), relating to the legality of processing, in section 1, letter b) states that “The processing will be legal if at least one of the following conditions is met: (…) b) the processing is necessary for the execution of a contract to which the interested party is a party or for the application at the request of the interested party of pre-contractual measures (…)”.

By virtue of this precept, the processing of data is lawful, and will not require consent, when the processing of data is carried out for the fulfillment of contractual relations of an employment nature.

This provision would also cover the processing of data of public employees, although their relationship is not contractual in the strict sense.

Sometimes, in order to comply with its obligations in relation to public employees, the Administration must process certain data referred to in the EU Regulation, in its article 9, as “special categories of data".

Thus, article 9.1 of the aforementioned Regulation states that “The processing of data that reveals ethnic or racial origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical convictions, or union membership, and the processing of data are prohibited. genetic data, biometric data aimed at uniquely identifying a natural person, data relating to health or data relating to the sexual life or sexual orientations of a natural person.

However, in section 2, a series of exceptions are established in which such data may be processed. Specifically, letter b) of this section 2 indicates the following: “Section 1 will not apply when one of the following circumstances occurs: (…) b) the processing is necessary for the fulfillment of obligations and the exercise of specific rights of the data controller or the interested party in the field of labor law and social security and protection (…)”.
