About GDPR

The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) introduces new data protection rules. From May 2018, citizens have more control over their data and businesses benefit from a level playing field. Law 101/2000Sb is a thing of the past. However, you must comply with a number of new obligations, such as keeping records of processing.

GDPR brings a whole new set of obligations

Thanks to the EU Data Protection Regulation, new adaptation laws are being created and those related to Law 101/2000 Coll. are being repealed:

• Reporting incidents to the DPO

• Data Protection Impact Assessment Audit"

• Appointment of a Data Protection Officer

Any entity whose data you store will have huge rights from 25 May 2018, such as being forgotten. The fines are completely devastating.

How will GDPR templates help with compliance in the area of personal data processing?

You are obliged to submit the GDPR Documentation to the Data Protection Authority (DPA) upon request. Properly documenting that your organization is compliant with the new data protection rules is thus one of the most challenging requirements.

Once you are subject to an inspection from the supervisory authority of the DPO for whatever reason, one of the basic GDPR requirements you will be confronted with is to properly document the personal data processed, its purposes and records of activities.

For example, one of the new but also key obligations is to keep records of processing activities. Document for what purposes, what data you process and under what conditions. You need to have properly set up internal guidelines, employee familiarisation with processing guidelines and a number of other documents.
