The functions of a brokerage of insurances and reinsurance, and especially its paper of mediator between interested and the insuring companies, can pose certain doubts respect if to consider them like person in charge or in charge of treatment, since on the one hand they seem to be responsible like the organizations that successfully obtain the data of the interested ones and decide on his purpose and on the other, it is in charge certain services to them of mediation. The functions and obligations of the runners will be limited in principle, to those to offer truthful information and sufficient in the promotion, it supplies and subscription of the insurance policies and its activity of advising.

In the article 62. 1.
cs. specific that To the effects anticipated in Statutory law 15/1999, of 13 of December, Protection of Personal Character data (in future LOPD) the insurance agents and the runners of reinsurance will have the condition of people in charge of the treatment with respect to the data of the people who go to them. , that as well means that the insuring assignees and adressees of this information, would be also responsible for the files that picked up data of the insured. In this sense, also 11. 2. cs would be of application the article. of the LOPD that it indicates that When the treatment responds the free one and legitimate acceptance of a legal relation whose development, fulfillment and control necessarily imply the connection of this treatment with files of third parties will not be precise the previous consent of the interested one, although the brokerages, by the own nature of the services that render, count from the beginning on the consent of the people who ask for their services to communicate their data to the insuring organizations.
