This communication was carried out within the framework of a vaccination campaign by the Health Department.

The person in charge, however, would not have sufficient legitimacy to install this system so that parents and/or legal guardians can view live images of the activities carried out by their children.

The Foundation's communication to families and students aged over 14 years of information on activities of external entities may have sufficient legal basis in the legitimate interest (art. 6.1.f) GDPR), provided that it refers to activities or entities linked to or related to the nature of the Foundation's schools, and provided that the Foundation applies the specific guarantees set out in the V Legal Foundation of this opinion.

Personal data protection regulations do not prevent the dissemination of information relating to deceased persons.

It resolves to admonise the Official College of Veterinaries of Barcelona, because of the violation of the principle of application, given that this entity transferred to a veterinary centre the deontological consultation that a passenger raised with the COVB, in relation to the care received at the aforementioned veterinary centre, without there being a legal basis legitimising the processing of the data of the current complainant.

The file of the complaint against the BCN IMSS is agreed to consult, in the Register of Deaths of the Ministry of Justice and the SEPE, data on whether the complainant is registered in the register of deaths and whether he or she is a beneficiary of unemployment benefits, since, final provision 7a of Law 2/2014, of 27 January, enables the competent administrations in the field of social services to consult on the remuneration received by the persons who are applicants for these services.

Since the regulation urges the Public Administration to facilitate the use of the "sense name" by trans persons (art. 23.1 Law 11/2014), the processing of this data is not excessive for the purposes of the principle of minimisation, and may be lawful if carried out on the legal basis of the consent of the person concerned. Treatment of the "sense name", as identifying data relating to a natural person's gender identity or expression, does not, in principle, involve processing data from special categories. The identification information of the person concerned must also be dealt with in official documents (DNI/NIE or passport), in order to ensure the identification and, among other things, the principle of the accuracy of the information and its traceability.

The Ministry of Equality and Feminisms is resolved to be admonished for violation of the principle of application since it published the Ministry's website the Plan of Equality of the company denouncing, allowing the display of identifying data of the company's workers, as well as its handwritten signature.
