OWNERSHIP AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY ELECTRONIC OFFICE

Article 3.2 of Royal Decree 1671/2009, of 6 November, which partially implements Law 11/2007, of 22 June, on electronic access of citizens to Public Services, states that the Order for creating the e-Office must identify its title holder, the body or bodies entrusted with management and the services available to citizens.

In compliance with this provision, article 2 d) of TIN Order/1459/2010, of 28 May, which creates the e-Office of the Secretariat of State for Social Security, states that the owner of the electronic office (https://sede.seg-social.gob.es/) is the Secretariat of State for Social Security.

With respect to the responsibility of the electronic office, article 2 states:

1. Ownership of the electronic office corresponds to the State Secretariat for Social Security.
2. Technological management of the office will be the responsibility of the Social Security IT Department.
3. The directors of the general directorates, Common Services and Management Organisms attached to the State Secretariat of Social Security, and if applicable, of the organisations included in the electronic office, will be responsible for management, content and services made available to citizens. Responsibility will be determined by the powers granted to each of the bodies by current legislation.
4. Management of the office common contents and coordination with the general directorates, common services and management organisms attached to the State Secretariat of Social Security will be the responsibility of this last and will be executed via its Board.

According to |art. 10.2 of Law 11/2007, of 22 June on electronic access of citizens to Public Services, "establishing an electronic office means the title holder is responsible for the integrity, accuracy and updating of information and services that can be accessed via the office". Article 7.1 of Royal Decree 1671/2009, of 6 November, which partially implements Law 11/2007, of 22 June, on electronic access for citizens to public services, adds that "The owner of an electronic office containing a link to another for which a different body or Public Administration is responsible will not be responsible for the integrity, accuracy or updating of the latter".

The Electronic Office must provide the means so that citizens can know if the information or service they are accessing belongs to the electronic office itself, or to an access point that is not the electronic office or belongs to a third party.

Therefore, the links of the Electronic Office must indicate if accessing them means leaving the Electronic Office.
