That is what I was looking at.. and from the use of "operator" in the rest=
=20
of the text, it seems it is mostly about the rights of a person regarding=
=20
a second party processing their data in some state data system.  The first=
=20
definition of operator under Article three is "a State authority,=20
municipal authority, .."  it seems to imply that it is concerned about=20
what happens to folks' personal data when it gets into the state (or=20
other, granted) system..

I agree.. I didn't quite read it down to the letter.. it is like 15 pages,=
=20
but I tried to read most of it.

A key definition for this particular worry is Article 3 9)..

personal data information system - an information system, consisting of=20
all the personal data kept in a database, and also the information=20
technologies and hardware, enabling processing of such personal data using=
=20
automated facilities or without the use of such facilities.

In Article 13 # 2

2. Federal Laws may establish special features of keeping records of=20
personal data in State or municipal personal data information systems,=20
including the use of various means of indicating that personal data=20
included in the corresponding State or municipal data information system=20
belong to a particular subject of personal data.

Now that sounds to me talking about some beaurocrats dealing with folks=20
coming into a government office.. and they are talking about what the=20
government is doing with their data.

Now the definition of operator does extend beyond "state and municipal,"=20
this is true.. umm.. but the spirit of all this..

Yeah.. Not seeing anybody needing to worry about their FBSD.  This=20
legislation looks to be on the citizen's side, in my estimation.. not=20
trying to regulate anything but folks who are authorized to snoop into=20
other folks' data.. er.. they talk about privacy somewhere.. but I am not=
=20
going to try to cite any more Articles just now.
