Processing of personnal data and protection of privacy in the telecommunications sector, ISDN

This draft directive seeks to ensure an equivalent level of protection of privacy for individuals throughout the EU. It involves the processing of personal data by telecommunications organizations in the context of public digital telecommunications networks in the Community. This may only be used for specific telecommunications purposes. Subscribers have the right to know which personal data are stored, to have the data corrected or deleted and to prevent this data from being divulged without authorization. Many of the provisions relate to detailed invoicing, the right to anonymity, the protection of subscribers from unsolicited calls and the protection of subscribers to teleshopping and video-tex lines from unauthorized use of their personal data. �
