Introduction -
The General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) is the EU regulation which is directly applicable in all member states of the EU, including the Czech Republic, as of 25 May 2018. The new Czech Act No. 110/2019 Coll., on Processing of Personal Data, which partly implements the GDPR in the Czech Republic, is effective as of 24 April 2019. The Act on Processing of Personal Data replaced the previous Act No. 101/2000 Coll., on Protection of Personal Data, as amended. Among other things, this new act regulates jurisdiction of the Office for Personal Data Protection as the main data protection authority in the Czech Republic. The other laws briefly described below contain special rules for specific areas which apply together with or beside the general rules on personal data protection and processing.
