National law – SP – The Spanish Legal System – chapter 6
Anne and John have realised that the webpage of a company which makes activities for children birthdays and events, has uploaded a picture of their son; they are upset because they did not recall signing any type of data protection agreement, and the child is under 18.
Since they were not warned about the use of that data, they firmly believe it is illegal from them to upload that picture.
According to the Spanish law, one of the limits regarding freedom of expression is the protection of youth and childhood. Considering this, it would not be legal for the webpage to post any image of an underage person unless they have written consent of the parents.
Do you know any other limit regarding freedom of expression in Spain? Could you explain which data is considered “sensitive” and why?
