La función informativa de la información personal y su incidencia en el derecho a la protección de datos

Abstract

Abstract: It is essential to recognize the duality that personal data presents in our current society. On the one hand, this data is an invaluable resource that allows companies and organizations to offer more personalized and efficient services. However, this information function also carries great responsibility, since it involves the handling of sensitive information that belongs to individuals. The right to data protection stands as an essential pillar to safeguard the privacy and dignity of people. This right not only ensures that data is treated fairly and transparently, but also gives individuals control over their own information; In a world where data collection is ubiquitous, it is crucial that citizens understand their rights and demand that their data be used ethically. Although personal data is essential for development and innovation, its management must always be aligned with respect for privacy and the protection of fundamental rights. Thus, we can build a more just and balanced society, where information is used for the common good, without compromising the integrity of individuals.
