According to the guidance published by the DPC on transborder dataflows and the 8th principle, the data controller should
also inform the data subject that consent to publishing their personal details on the Web means that their information may
be accessed in countries where their rights are not protected by law, otherwise the consent is not valid (para 8.2 of
'International Transfers Summary' document). I don't see how this requirement can be met by merely saying that you can
publish personal data on the Web because it already exists in printed form.
It would be very helpful if the ODPC would give some clear guidance on this, rather than issuing contradictory statements,
so that institutions know exactly where they stand and what they have to do.
