Existen determinadas categorías de datos que, por sus características, requieren de un régimen más estricto, regulación que, en ocasiones está necesitada de concreción. El presente trabajo incide en la necesidad de repensar qué datos genéticos y qué informaciones relacionadas con la salud deben considerarse como sensibles, amén de proponer nuevos criterios para su delimitación. La clarificación de la esfera de protección de estas tipologías de datos se hace perentoria en aquellos ordenamientos en que se establezcan limitaciones adicionales para las categorías de datos que protagonizan este artículo. Situación que el Reglamento General de Protección de Datos de la Unión Europea habilita. There are certain categories of data which, due to their characteristics, require a stricter regime, regulation which, at times, needs to be specified. This paper focuses on the need to rethink which genetic data and health-related information should be considered as sensitive and to propose new criteria for their delimitation. The clarification of the scope of protection of these types of data is urgently needed in those legal systems in which additional limitations are established for the categories of data covered by this article. Situation that the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation enables.
