The Chamber of Comptos has warned of unidentified risks for the rights and freedoms of individuals in the management system of Pamplona's Low Emission Zone, in a report focused on the processing of personal data linked to the control of this device.
The observation affects the management of the information collected by the system that regulates access to this restricted area of the Navarrese capital, implemented in January 2026. The warning focuses on possible shortcomings when previously identifying the impacts that this data processing may have on citizens.
The report focuses on data protection
The warning from the Chamber of Accounts does not refer to the operation of the perimeter of the Low Emission Zone in terms of mobility or sanction, but to the aspect related to the protection of personal data. Specifically, the report points out the existence of unidentified risks in a system that handles sensitive information within access control.
The Low Emission Zone of Pamplona came into force in January 2026, so that oversight occurs a few months after its implementation. The analysis reviews how personal information associated with that supervision mechanism is being managed.
Warning about rights and freedoms
The most relevant point of the report is the express reference to the rights and freedoms of the people affected by that data processing. The Chamber of Accounts underlines that there are unidentified risks, a formulation that places the debate in the realm of legal guarantees and the supervision of the use of personal information in automated or administrative control systems.
The information was published on April 1, 2026 and appears signed by Ruperto Mendiri. The warning now opens a focus of attention on the data management model of Pamplona's Low Emission Zone, at a still initial moment of its application.
