This report examines how and to what extent collective management organisations (CMO) are able to process personal data in the copyright operating environment, which is becoming increasingly digitalised.
The status of the CMOs was examined from the perspective of the General Data Protection Regulation and the focus was on the right of the CMOs to supply personal data to the ISNI database and other copyright management portals. The roles of the CMOs under the General Data Protection Regulation and the grounds for processing personal data relevant to the topic are also discussed in the report.
With regard to the application of the data protection legislation, the General Data Protection Regulation and the national Data Protection Act apply to the processing of the data on authors and works. Disclosing personal data to third parties and publishing it online are also considered processing of personal data. Thus, the right of the CMOs to supply data on authors and works to databases must be assessed from the perspective of what is permitted under the data protection legislation.
