Objective: to discuss whether the reproduction of the “No Syphilis” Project regarding the processing of large scale of personal data related to health without the consent of the holders would be possible in Portugal. Methods: analysis of the Brazilian, Portuguese, and European legislation on personal data protection, with the “No Syphilis” Project as a case study. Results: the processing of sensitive personal data without the consent of the owner is, as a rule, prohibited by the General Data Protection Regulation, however the processing for reasons of public interest in the field of health and scientific research purposes is authorized, provided that the fundamental freedoms of the holders are guaranteed. Conclusion: considering that the “No Syphilis” Project is a research project that involves addressing and eradicating syphilis in all its forms, specific hypotheses of Portuguese and European legislation authorize the processing of sensitive personal data even without the consent of the holders, specifically, the processing of personal data for reasons of public interest in the field of public health and scientific research purposes.
