Osasuna may be punished for using this method at the El Sadar entrance

Spanish data protection agency has been proposed as penalty Osasun Athletic ClubTo use a method of accessing El Sadar Stadium by recognizing the face, which has raised doubts about the validity of each person’s permission for assigning their biometric data.

The Professor of Administration Law and Research at the Institute of Data Science and University of Navarra, Juan Carlos Hernández Peña, It explained to the EFE that general data protection regulation is controlled that biometric data is subject to very special protection, as they are considered high risk.

Therefore, all biometric data processing is subject to many guarantees, with a more strict review, which is what it does is check if there is a basis that provides to raise the treatment of treatment.

According to Hernández, the basis for increasing the prohibition may be “permission of the interested party, essential purposes of a person or important public interest or security.”

In order to implement these systems, it is necessary to justify this and, when Osasuna decides to launch the system, needs to make an assessment of the impact, that is, a review if the system complies with regulation.

“The sentence in the sentence is if the review is correct and the conclusion he reached is sufficient,” Hernández said. Osasuna explained that based on the permission of the partners to agree to transfer their biometric data, because, do so for security reasons, as done, for example, in Denmark, there must be a law that Spain does not Count

Conflicting standards

What happens is, at the same time that the Spanish agency for data protection requires the reason to use this mechanism, it also demands an equivalent and less harmful accession, which in the case of OSASUNA will be the card of subscribers.

At that time, according to Professor of the University of Navarra, the agency understands that, if there is another less harmful procedure, the accessing system of facial recognition is not necessary. “Whoever treats the data will have to convince the agency that the goal of pursuing the one can be achieved with a biometric examination. It is very difficult to say that it is really necessary to do so,” reasons.

“Then it’s like a cycle, it’s a cycle review. Give me permission, but tell me an equivalent way. If the equivalent way to show contradiction in reasoning.

In this case, the accomplishment is to explain that in this procedure the partner cannot steal the card or may enter another person in his or her area, but “enters the agency’s analysis considering that such arguments are not enough to lift the ban.

The courts will decide

Osasuna has already made a penalty and, according to Hernández, it will be the courts to say what the permission is. In the interpretation that this agency does, it is “very difficult” to use these systems, so ordinary justice needs to establish a criterion.

Another Lithuanian club uses this system because the regulator of this country has confirmed the partner’s permission. In the case of Denmark, it justifies the need to identify experts who have been evacuated by racism cases, but in Spain, there is no law, this cannot be done.
