What responsibility can a person who illegally disseminates sensiti- ve content or personal information of third parties assume? A person who unlawfully dissemi- nates personal information of third parties may incur different types of liability: ■ Data protection liability: the publi- cation or dissemination of personal data of a natural person (in content such as images, audio or video that can identify that person), wi- thout consent, can be punishable by fines. ■ Criminal liability: the publication or dissemination to third parties of in- formation, images, audios or videos without consent, which undermi- ne the privacy of a natural person, constitutes an offence punishable by imprisonment of three months to one year, or a fine of six to twel - ve months, in cases where it has been obtained with the consent of the person concerned in any place out of the sight of third parties. In addition, it could constitute a crime against moral integrity, punishable by imprisonment from six months to two years. ■ When the perpetrators are minors, they may be ordered to perform community service or socio-educa- tional tasks, and may be sentenced to probation or even imprisonment. ■ Civil liability: they must be liable for the damages caused to the affected person, both financial and moral, in the event of a lawsuit. In the case of minors, the amount must be paid by the parents.
