Summary/Abstract: The global pandemic, caused by the Covid-19 virus (Corona) is undoubtedly the first representative risk of Today. For the first time in human history, all countries of the World are united in a common response on to this "modern plague", primarily due to the engagement of the World Health Organization (WHO), which prescribed recommendations measures for pandemic response, to all of its 193 member countries, but also due to the global digital exchange of information through numerous software & social internet networks. General digitization of data using geographic information systems & databases (GIS), has opened other issues, primarily related to the protection of human rights & personal data that are exchanged among many stakeholders in the interest of public health. There are two basic administrative & legal norms that we should refer to when research this phenomenon. The first norm is the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), which was the basis for establishment of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights & Fundamental Freedoms (1950). And the second is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which became binding on all EU member states, but is also a recommendation to candidate & potential candidate countries for EU membership. This paper provides answers and recommendations to the requirements for harmonization of digital data risk management, with the universal obligation to protect human rights & protect personal data from misuse.
