El Reglamento General de Protección de Datos y de la Ley Orgánica 3/2018, de 5 de diciembre, de Protección de Datos Personales y garantía de los derechos digitales han traído una nueva regulación al ámbito de la protección de datos; dándole, así, cumplimiento y efectividad al derecho de protección de datos, o autodeterminación informativa, cuyo contenido ha estado en constante evolución para poder hacerle frente a los constantes avances tecnológicos. Esta evolución del derecho a la protección de datos será mínima en la jurisprudencia del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea y del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos, pero no en el caso del Tribunal Constitucional, cuyas resoluciones han ido desarrollando, sin parar, el contenido de este derecho, manteniéndose entre la corriente anglosajona y germana de este derecho fundamental. Como parte del contenido mismo del derecho, además, tendremos el consentimiento del interesado, que será la pieza clave de la protección de datos, pero puede que encontremos algún punto débil en la actual normativa sobre protección de datos en lo que al consentimiento respecta.
Abstract:The General Data Protection Regulation and the Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights have brought a new regulation to the field of data protection; giving, thus, compliance and effectiveness to the right to the protection of personal data, or right to informational self-determination, which content has been constantly evolving in order to face the constant technological advances. This evolution of the right to data protection will be minimal in the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and of the European Court of Human Rights, but not in the case of the Constitutional Court of Spain, which resolutions have developed the content of this right, with no stop, staying between the Anglo-Saxon and German doctrinal stream of this fundamental right. As part of the content of the right, in addition, we will have the consent of the data subject, which will be the key piece of data protection, but it is possible that we may find some weakness in the current data protection regulations as far as consent is concerned.Summary:1. Introduction. 2. The right to data protection in the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights: 2.1. The Court of Justice of the European Union. 2.2. TheEuropean Court of Human Rights: respect for the private and family life. 3. The evolution of the right to data protection or informational self-determination: the American or Anglo-saxon stream, the German or European stream and the case law of the Constitutional Court of Spain: 3.1. The right to data protection in the American or Anglo-saxon stream. 3.2. The right to data protection in the German or European stream. 3.3. The evolution of the right to data protection in the case law of the Constitutional Court of Spain. 3.4. Personal data subject to protection. 4. The consent of the data subject as a reflection of the right to the protection of personal data: 4.1. The consent of the data subject in the data protection regulations. 4.2. The consent of the data subject in the Spanish legal framework: between the GDPR and the Spanish Civil Code. 5. Cases outside the consent of the data subject as a mere «indication of the individual’s wishes»: contractual clause and subject matter of contract. 6. Conclusion.
