Summary/Abstract: The opinion presents Sejm’s draft position in the proceedings before the Constitutional Tribunal concerning the motion by the Prosecutor general for examination of the provisions authorizing the representatives of the Supreme Audit Office to process sensitive personal data. In the Sejm view, the questioned provisions, insofar as they enable inspectors from the Supreme Audit Office to process data revealing the racial or ethnic origin, political views, religious or philosophical beliefs, denominational, party or trade union affiliation, as well as genetic code data and those concerning one’s habits or sex life, violate the constitutional principle of proportionality in the context of right to privacy and the individual‘s information autonomy.
