Representatives of the General Inspectorate for Migration, Center Regional Directorate, trained in the field of personal data protection

       On November 21, 2025, the National Center for Personal Data Protection organized a training session in the field of personal data protection for employees of the General Inspectorate for Migration (GIM), Center Regional Directorate, according to the training plan within the GIM for 2025, approved and signed by the heads of the NCPDP and GIM on January 27 of this year.

       The training aimed to familiarize participants with the fundamental principles of data protection, strengthening knowledge regarding institutional and individual obligations in the process of processing personal data, identify risks and apply appropriate security measures, as well as increase the level of responsibility in relation to the management of data of citizens and foreigners undergoing migration procedures.

       For GIM representatives, training is a fundamental element in guaranteeing:

• Operational compliance with data protection legislation, given the essential role of the GIM in managing migration flows, documentation and record-keeping processes, as well as specific databases.
•  Increasing the level of institutional security, by reducing the risk of security incidents and by strengthening an internal culture of accountability and transparency.
• Continuous capacity-building for employees, which contributes to a more efficient execution of job duties and to the improvement of services provided to citizens, asylum seekers and migrants.
• Adapting to new regulatory and technological developments, in a context in which the digitalization of processes and the inter-institutional exchange of information are becoming increasingly complex.

       Participants benefited from an interactive session, which resulted in several conclusions and strengthened skills, including: in-depth understanding of data processing principles and their application in daily work, including in documenting migrants, managing files and using internal information systems; awareness of the importance of data minimization, limited access only to authorized persons and the need to justify each processing operation; acquisition of practical knowledge on preventing incidents, such as unauthorized disclosures or illegal access to systems; understanding of the institution’s obligations regarding the communication of security incidents, including the procedures for notifying the NCPDP and informing data subjects when necessary; strengthening the skills to respect the rights of data subjects, especially in complex situations specific to the field of migration, where transparency and fairness of data processing are essential for protecting vulnerable persons.

       During the event, 16 representatives from GIM, Center Regional Directorate, were trained.

       Through such training, NCPDP reaffirms its commitment to constantly support GIM employees in the correct application of data protection rules, to provide them with professional support and practical tools for secure information management, and to contribute to the development of a responsible institutional culture in the field of personal data protection.
