Comparação de normas de conduta dos trabalhadores da administração pública portuguesa:

a tensão entre o tratamento de dados pessoais e os deveres éticos

Abstract

The increased use of communication and information systems emphasizes the problem of the use of personal data by the public administration, and the ethical duties that bound workers in public service, when accessing information relating to citizens, must be questioned. In this comparative analysis it was concluded that the
professional secrecy and confidentiality of personal data are treated, in general, in an undifferentiated manner, with no sensitivity to the issues raised, in particular, regarding the processing of personal data in public administration. In addition, there are no implementation mechanisms of codes of ethics or control and monitoring measures concerning, specifically, the access to data managed by means of computer systems.
