There is a really fresh judgment of the Voivodeship Administrative Court in Warsaw of 3 March 2009, case file II SA/Wa 1495/08 regarding the protection of personal data and providing and operating online services such as websites about users’ classmates.

It is therefore assumed that in accordance with article 6(2) of the Polish Act of 29 August 1997 on the Protection of Personal Data (in Polish: Ustawa o ochronie danych osobowych) not only information on the current situation of an individual decide whether we are dealing with personal data, but also information relating to what one did and who one was in the past. It means that such data are protected under the Act on Protection of Personal Data.
