Abstract
The right to privacy is a fundamental human right within democratic states. As public policies for identifying, registering and classifying “national human potential” have become more efficient and effective with technological advances, new risks of misuse of personal information arise. Infringement of rights and security of personal data files in regard to the inception of the new National ID Card (DNI) are outlined, as well as legal frameworks for protection. Analysis shows that there is a correlation between the design of institutions and their actual performance. The DNPDP is highlighted. Transfer of information between government entities is scrutinized.
