Participation of the NCPDP’s representatives at the 31st Spring Conference of the European Data Protection Authorities

On 10-12 May 2023, the representatives of the National Centre for Personal Data Protection (NCPDP) participated in the 31st Spring Conference of the European Data Protection Authorities in Budapest, Hungary.

This year the event was hosted by the Hungarian Data Protection Authority. It is to mention that Hungary hosts this event for the third time.

During the working sessions, topical data protection issues were presented, such as:

– New technologies – assessing the social impact of the use of new technologies in different areas;

– Interaction between data protection and competition law;

– Court decisions: resolutions and amendments to the Rules of Procedure;

– Best practices/case studies in enforcement cooperation between EEA and non-EEA countries.

For the first time at a Spring Conference of the European Data Protection Authorities, an Open Day was organised. This practice gave the opportunity to several institutions, NGOs or other organisations that expressed interest in the topics covered during the event to participate online.

The event was attended by the representatives of Central and Eastern European Data Protection Authorities, the Council of Europe, the European Data Protection Board, the European Data Protection Supervisor, where they had the opportunity to exchange experience and best practices in the field of personal data protection, including the role of the Data Protection Officer within a public or private entity.
