       On October 31, 2025, the National Center for Personal Data Protection (NCPDP) organized a training session in the field of personal data protection for employees of the Ministry of Finance (MF), at their request.

       The purpose of the training session was to train and develop the professional skills of MF employees in the field of personal data protection, through a practical and applied approach, adapted to the specifics of their activity. The training aimed at in-depth understanding of the fundamental principles of data processing, identifying the responsibilities of the institution as a data controller, as well as preventing risks related to improper access, use and storage of information containing personal data.

       Important topics were discussed during the event, such as: the definitions of  general notions related to the field of personal data protection; the rights of personal data subjects; the requirements regarding the protection of personal data in the exercise of official duties; ensuring the security and confidentiality of processed personal data; the examination of requests for disclosure of personal data;  the access to information of public interest from the perspective of the legislation on the protection of personal data, etc.

       The training session highlighted the fact that data protection is not just a formal requirement, but an essential component of modern governance, which contributes to ensuring transparency, strengthening institutional accountability and increasing public trust in the authority’s work.

       By actively participating in the training, MF employees demonstrated increased interest in improvement and openness to the application of compliant and ethical practices, as well as understanding the importance of a proactive approach in the field of data protection, recognizing that respecting confidentiality and the right to privacy is not only a legal obligation, but also an essential element of public trust.

       Following the activity, participants became aware of the importance of applying the principle of data minimization in all institutional processes and the need for constant risk assessment and implementation of appropriate security measures. At the same time, they understood the value of individual and collective responsibility in managing personal data and recognized that continuous professional training is an essential element of compliance and efficient and transparent governance.

       By carrying out this activity, NCPDP reaffirms its firm commitment to supporting public institutions in developing the professional capacities necessary to implement efficient and sustainable protection of personal data.

       Such training sesssions contribute not only to improve administrative practices, but also to strengthen an institutional climate based on ethics, responsibility and respect for fundamental human rights.
