GDPR Compliance

The new European Union general data Protection Regulation is the biggest change in data protection legislation in the last almost 20 years. It imposes a single legislative framework for the processing of personal data in the Member States of the European Union and replaces Directive 95/46/EC, which was incorporated into Greek legislation by Law 2472/1997. The general regulation aims at the overall upgrading of the data protection framework in order to ensure both the effective protection of individuals in an ever-changing technological environment and the free movement of personal data. To achieve these objectives, it introduces a series of innovative provisions, including the data protection Officer or DPO).

In addition, enterprises has introduced law 4624/2019, published a few days ago in the Government Gazette, with which the Greek legal order is aligned with the European Data Protection Framework (incorporation of Directive 680/2016 for the processing of data by the authorities and measures implementing the general data Protection regulation, widely known as GDPR).
