Zasada jawności dostępu do informacji publicznej – postępowanie egzekucyjne a prywatność osoby fizycznej

The right to the protection of personal data lies within the individual's right to privacy, and the essence of this right is manifested in the decision by the natural person about the scope and extent of sharing information about their life, including their personal data. The right to the protection of personal data competes with the right of access to public information, which is not absolute and is subject to restrictions, including the protection of the right to privacy. Personal data protection applies to all forms of data processing by data controllers, including the context of debt recovery proceedings against the debtor. The basic legalization criterion for the processing of personal data is consent to the processing of personal data. However, the legislator also provided for other legalization requirements for the processing of personal data without the consent of the data subject, which constitutes the legal basis for the processing of the debtor's personal data in debt collection proceedings. These issues are the subject of this article, including the analysis of the provisions of the GDPR and their interpretation by doctrine and jurisprudence.
