WORTEN-EQUIPAMENTOS PARA O LAR SA V. ACT (AUTHORITY FOR WORKING CONDITIONS), 30.5.2013 (“WORTEN”)

Personal Data: Data contained in the record of working time concerning, in relation to each worker, the daily work periods and rest periods, constitute personal data because they represent “information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.” (¶ 19)

In that respect, it suffices to note that, as maintained by all of the interested parties who submitted written observations, the data contained in a record of working time such as that at issue in the main proceedings, which concern, in relation to each worker, the daily work periods and rest periods, constitute personal data within the meaning of Article 2(a) of Directive 95/46, because they represent ‘information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person’ (see, to that effect, inter alia, Joined Cases C‑465/00, C‑138/01 and C‑139/01 Österreichischer Rundfunk and Others [2003] ECR I‑4989, paragraph 64; Case C‑524/06 Huber [2008] ECR I‑9705, paragraph 43; and Case C‑553/07 Rijkeboer [2009] ECR I‑3889, paragraph 42).
