The Personal Data Protection Board
("Board") issued a decision, dated 17
September 2020, and numbered 2020/710. The decision was in response
to a data subject's ("Petitioner")
complaint alleging that in furtherance of enforcement proceedings
pending against Petitioner in bankruptcy court, personal data was
unlawfully processed to obtain information necessary to effect lien
notice on Petitioner's non-debtor relatives.
As article 89 of Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law
("Article 89") allows a secured creditor
in an enforcement proceeding to pursue recovery against non-debtor
third parties who may be in possession of debtor assets and the
Petitioner's data was processed in furtherance of bankruptcy
proceedings under Article 89, the Board had decided that there was
no violation of Personal Data Protection Law numbered 6698.
