The Spanish Agency for Data Protection (AEPD) has issued a warning about the misuse of certified emails, emphasizing the risks associated with sending these messages unencrypted. This type of communication, commonly used by companies and firms to manage offers and claims, can lead to fines of up to 70,000 euros if its content is not adequately protected.
LEGALPIN, a Galician company specializing in certified digital communications, highlights that, despite more organizations opting for certified emails to transmit sensitive information, most of these services do not implement encryption. This deficiency can result in breaches of confidentiality, according to the terms stipulated in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Organic Law on Data Protection and Guarantee of Digital Rights (LOPDGDD).
The problem lies in the fact that, without encryption, emails remain exposed to the possibility of being accessible on the servers of popular email providers. This not only poses a significant risk to data privacy but also opens up the possibility of challenges to notices. Javier Meizoso, founder of Legalpin, reports that complaints are already being filed with the AEPD due to a lack of guarantees regarding confidentiality in communications that include sensitive data, such as financial or health information.
To counter this issue, Legalpin has developed an innovative solution called buromail, which allows for the certification of both the sending and opening of emails, while automatically encrypting the content before it is sent. This technology ensures that neither the email provider nor third parties have access to the information, as it is only decrypted when the message is opened. Thanks to this advancement, robust legal evidence is generated, providing firms and companies with a reliable tool that complies with current regulations.
“What is not protected does not exist legally. The risk is no longer just a challenge, but a possible fine,” emphasizes Meizoso, highlighting the urgent need to adopt security measures in business communication.
With its focus on certified messaging, Legalpin has simplified the process, allowing users to send emails and SMS securely without requiring additional software. The company is committed to providing technology that not only adheres to data protection legislation but also offers an easy and effective user experience.
