On the occasion of the European Data Protection Day, the Directorate for personal data protection organized an open day for the citizens in order to familiarize them with its work and their right to privacy protection. High school students, who according to the director Marijana Marushic are most frequently exposed to personal data abuse on the internet, visited the Directorate for personal data protection Monday. The Directorate will also promote the brochure “You decide” for this target group.

“The goal is to raise the awareness of the citizens about their rights to personal data protection so that they could react if these rights have been violated”, Marushic said.
Last year, more than 40 petitions were submitted by the citizens to the Directorate, but no fines were issued since this was a period during which the Directorate was informing the institutions about their legal obligations. The analyses indicated that the violations are not done deliberately, but mostly due to ignorance of the Law.

According to Marushic, the authorizations of the Directorate will be expanded with the amendments of the Law on personal data protection, which are currently in parliamentary procedure.
“With these law amendments, an inspection supervision and infringement commission will be introduced. Instead of the courts, the commission will now have the authority to decide whether fines should be issued for unauthorized revealing of personal data” stressed Marushic.
