On September 17, Organic Law 1/2020, of September 16, was
published in the BOE on the use of data from the Passenger Name
Record for the prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution
of terrorist offences and serious crimes.
This regulation is transposed from Directive (EU) 2016/681 of
the European Parliament and of the Council and was promulgated with
the aim of raising the security levels of Union citizens.
Accordingly, it incorporates new tools to combat the threat of
terrorism and organized crime. This regulation also creates its own
legal framework for personal data protection.
In this sense, this regulation creates the PNR (Passenger Name
Record). PNR data is the set of data related to a passenger's
trip, such as the date of booking and ticket issuance, the planned
dates of the trip, name and surname, address and contact
information, payment information, seat information, etc.
