Wpływ Europejskiego kodeksu łączności elektronicznej na ochronę danych osobowych i prywatności użytkowników usług OTT-1 (usług łączności interpersonalnej)
The impact of the European Electronic Communications Code (EECC) on the protection of personal data and privacy of users of OTT-1 services (interpersonal communications services)

Summary/Abstract: The entry into force of the European Electronic Communications Code (EECC) has a significant impact on the protection of privacy of users of those Over-the-Top (OTT) services that qualify as interpersonal communications services under the EECC (art.2 point 5). Instant messaging and webmail services are examples of such services. Limitations provided for in Articles 5, 6 and 9 of Directive 2002/58/EC (‘e-Privacy Directive’) are directly applicable to providers of those services. In consequence, in most cases the processing of information contained in electronic communications and the related metadata generated in the course of the provision of OTT-1 services shall require user consent. The only exceptions may be legally authorized in accordance with Article 15.1 of the e-Privacy Directive.
