title: [From genetic privacy to the right to genetic data protection. Basic protection of genetic data in Spanish law (regarding SSTC290/2000 and 292/2000, of November 30) (Part I)].
abstract: In Rulings 290/2000 and 292/2000, both handed down on 30 November 2000, Spain's Constitutional Court coined, so to speak, a new fundamental right: the right to protection of personal data, which marks the culmination of fundamental legal protection of privacy, private life and personal information. The first part of the article provides a historic and systematic analysis of legislative developments and constitutional case law in these areas, focusing on the right to privacy, so-called informatics freedom and the aforementioned right to protection of personal data.
