Autorización, producción y uso de los datos personales en el contrato de suministro eléctrico.

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to analyze aspects related to the authorization, production, and use of personal data in the electricity supply contract. As the main methodology, a documentary investigation was performed a legal analysis and review of academic information supporting the study was carried out. The central interest of the investigation was based on knowing if the electricity supply contracts signed with the consumers of the service, specify the right of personal data protection, and give consent to the electric company to access or use such information for personal purposes other than those generated by the nature of the electrical service. Among the main results, it was found that the energy supply contract model currently used does not define the right of consumers to authorize the production and use of their personal data, nor does it expressly establish the responsibility of the electrical company in safeguarding such information. It concludes that it is necessary to carry out a reform or modification of the supply contract to guarantee compliance with the right to data protection.
