DA TUTELA DOS DADOS PESSOAIS SENSÍVEIS NO CONTEXTO DAS AÇÕES DE SEGURIDADE SOCIAL.

Abstract

One of the biggest challenges faced by contemporary law is the protection of sensitive personal data in the context of social security actions. This concept is based on privacy and data security principles, as well as specific regulations, which aim to guarantee better strategies and methods for the sensitive information of insured individuals, with respect to their privacy. Furthermore, social security is an area in which the collection and use of sensitive personal data is common, given that it involves information related to health, disability, retirement and other personal and medical aspects of beneficiaries. In view of this, the protection of sensitive personal data becomes essential to guarantee the privacy and confidentiality of the sensitive personal data of policyholders. This article aims to elucidate the protection and appropriate treatment of highly sensitive information. As for the methodology, we opted for the deductive method, based on bibliographical, legislative and jurisprudential analysis.
