National Agency of Road Transport representatives trained in personal data protection

On 16 June 2023, the National Centre for Personal Data Protection organised a training course on personal data protection for employees of the National Agency of Road Transport (ANTA), at their request.

The aim of the training course was to increase ANTA employees’ awareness of the principles of personal data protection, as well as of ensuring the correct application of the legal provisions in this field, arising from their obligation to ensure the protection of the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data.

During the event important topics were discussed, such as:

– Definition of general notions related to the field of personal data protection;

– Data Protection Officer issues;

– Data Protection Impact Assessment issues;

– Examination of requests for disclosure of personal data;

– Personal data protection requirements in the performance of duties;

– Correct procedure for accessing personal data through state information systems and keeping correct audit trails of such accesses;

– Ensuring the security and confidentiality of personal data processed, etc.

The training course was an interactive one, with participants asking the trainers many questions about the legal processing of personal data in the daily work of ANTA employees.

The event was attended by the representatives from the two key branches of the institution: the branch dealing with the one-stop-shop activity – issuing of permit documents and the branch dealing with road control activity
