We are FCC Nº21

Data Protection Officer of the FCC Group Paula Armentia Morillas Why is it important for there to be a European Data Protection Day and for people to be aware at all times of the power and value of informa- tion? Nowadays, we carry out a multitude of actions that, without realising it, in- volve the processing of personal data. Thus, actions such as taking a photo with a mobile phone and posting it on a social network, using activity brace- lets, online shopping, sending work files to our colleagues, storing infor - mation in the cloud, etc., are some of the examples. Therefore, and in the face of rapid te- chnological progress, it is important that we are aware that Data Protec- tion is not only a fundamental right as holders of our data, but also an obliga- tion that we must bear in mind when managing the personal information that we use every day when we per- form our duties in the companies of the FCC Group, since this information is one of the most important assets of any organisation and, if not treated correctly, can lead to security brea- ches, unauthorised access or losses of various kinds, with the damaging consequences that this entails.
