Parliament representatives trained in the field of personal data protection

       On November 25, 2025, the National Center for Personal Data Protection organized a training session entitled “Protection of personal data within data recording information systems” for deputies of the 12th legislature, staff from the offices of persons with public dignitaries, including civil servants from the Secretariat, at their request.

       The purpose of the training was to consolidate knowledge regarding legal requirements and good practices in the field of data protection, especially in the context of the use and administration of information systems that manage large volumes of personal data. Participants were familiarized with the institutional and individual obligations arising from national and european legislation, as well as with the essential principles of data processing – from legality and transparency, to security and accountability.

       The event addressed a series of essential topics for strengthening good practice in the field of personal data protection, such as: clarifying general concepts specific to this field, exercising the rights of data subjects, the principles and legal bases governing data processing, and the responsibilities related to the designation and role of the Data Protection Officer. Particular emphasis was placed on access to information of public interest, analyzed from the perspective of data protection legislation. The discussions focused on how a balance can be ensured between the public’s right to information and the need to protect personal data, in particular by applying the principle of proportionality  when deciding to disclose information. At the same time, the rules regarding the correct limitation of access were examined, as well as the obligations related to the retention, storage and use of data after the completion of processing operations, so that their disclosure or archiving fully complies with legal requirements.

       Participants benefited from an interactive session, which resulted in several conclusions and strengthened skills, including: in-depth understanding of institutional and individual responsibilities regarding the protection of personal data; identification of typical risks associated with the use of information systems of record and ways to mitigate them; the need to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures, including access control, clear internal policies and periodic audit programs; the importance of respecting the principles of data minimization, accuracy and limited time retention and improving internal communication and cooperation with the Data Protection Officer for the correct management of processing situations.

       Through this initiative, NCPDP reaffirms its commitment to supporting public institutions in developing the necessary skills for secure, transparent and responsible management of personal data, thus contributing to protecting the fundamental rights of citizens.

       The event was attended by 90 representatives from the Secretariat of the Parliament, including staff from the offices of persons with public dignitaries and deputies from the 12th legislature.
