Professor and lawyer Guido Doria recently gave an interview to Striscia La Notizia (broadcast on 10/04/2025 on Canale 5) in which some issues related to the famous television program "Affari Tuoi" were raised. In particular, one question arose: considering the game should be based solely on luck, why is the contestant asked to indicate his lucky numbers?
This question led Striscia La Notizia to delve into the matter: according to Doria, there could be a critical issue regarding compliance with privacy legislation, besides ethics, as the lucky numbers could influence the choices of the "doctor" and the progress of the program.
It's essential that any program that processes personal data complies with the applicable laws, ensuring transparency towards both the participants and the public.
