One year before its effect the Office for Personal Data Protection (hereinafter only the “Office”) published on its website two documents regarding the Regulation.

The aim of these documents is to bring the Regulation nearer to the public and to clarify some of the mistakes widespread about the Regulation.

The first document is a collection of questions and answers, where are explained for example the most important terms regarding the Regulation or the rights and obligations of individual subjects that arise from the Regulation.

The second document clarifies the inaccurate or incorrect information that often appear in connection with the Regulation.

In connection with the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation the Czech Act on the Protection of Personal Data will be amended.
