E-mail has become an essential communication tool today. In this sense, there are some aspects in the management of this resource that we should pay special attention, they often receive and send emails without observing the rules of data protection. Today we refer to sending emails to multiple recipients, a practice increasingly common, both professionally and personally.

Therefore, the e-mail address of an individual, to the extent that identifies its holder without deadlines or disproportionate activities, constitutes personal data, protected by the Law on Data Protection.

In 2010 there were a total of twenty-four complaints, of which four were closed being no evidence of violation of the law, six ended with a sanction, a statement in infringement and five remain to be resolved. In the remaining eight, having started the process it was determined that there was no infringement. So far in 2011, nine complaints have been filed.
Most commented complaints were imposed for violating the duty of secrecy set out in art. 10 of the Organic Law on Data Protection which states that "the data controller and those involved at any stage of processing of personal data are bound to secrecy regarding the same and the duty to protect them, obligations are to remain after the end of their relationship with the owner of the file, or if the responsible for it. "
