OBS_VALUE: To strengthen data protection, a number of amendments has been introduced to the relevant legislation in December 2021. In particular, as from 2022, the owners and/or operators of the personal data are required to adopt a policy on collection, processing and protection of personal data. Companies that collect and process personal data (owners, operators and third parties) are obliged to record the following information in the consent form: The period of validity of the consent for personal data collection and processing; Whether the data operator will transfer the personal data to a third party(ies); Whether cross border transfer will take place; Whether the personal data will be disseminated using publicly available sources. However, relevant amendments do not provide for specific private sector safeguards for cross-border transfer of personal data.
