(54) D’fhéadfadh sé gur gá catagóirí speisialta sonraí pearsanta a phróiseáil ar mhaithe le leas an phobail i réimsí na sláinte poiblí gan toiliú ón ábhar onraí.
Ba cheart próiseáil den sórt sin a bheith faoi réir bearta oiriúnacha sonracha ionas go gcosnófar cearta agus saoirsí daoine nádúrtha.
Sa chomhthéacs sin, ba cheart “sláinte phoiblí” a léiriú mar atá sainmhínithe i Rialachán (CE) Uimh.
1338/2008 ó Pharlaimint na hEorpa agus ón gComhairle (11), eadhon na heilimintí uile a bhaineann leis an tsláinte, eadhon stádas sláinte, lena n-áirítear galracht agus míchumas, na deitéarmanaint a bhfuil tionchar acu ar an stádas sláinte sin, riachtanais chúraim sláinte, acmhainní a leithdháiltear ar chúram sláinte, soláthar cúraim sláinte agus rochtain uilíoch air, chomh maith le caiteachas ar chúram sláinte agus maoiniú do chúram sláinte agus cúiseanna mortlaíochta.
Maidir le sonraí a bhaineann leis an tsláinte a phróiseáil ar chúiseanna a bhaineann le leas an phobail, níor cheart é a bheith mar thoradh ar phróiseáil den sórt sin go ndéanfadh tríú páirtithe, amhail fostóirí nó cuideachtaí árachais agus baincéireachta, sonraí pearsanta a phróiseáil chun críocha eile.
(54) The processing of special categories of personal data may be necessary for reasons of public interest in the areas of public health without consent of the data subject.
Such processing should be subject to suitable and specific measures so as to protect the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
In that context, ‘public health’ should be interpreted as defined in Regulation (EC) No 1338/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council [11], namely all elements related to health, namely health status, including morbidity and disability, the determinants having an effect on that health status, health care needs, resources allocated to health care, the provision of, and universal access to, health care as well as health care expenditure and financing, and the causes of mortality.
Such processing of data concerning health for reasons of public interest should not result in personal data being processed for other purposes by third parties such as employers or insurance and banking companies.
