General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – The EU Law Strengthening the Information Society in Poland

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), now implemented in the Polish legal system, strengthens protection in the collection, processing, storage and transfer of digitised personal data. This undoubtedly represents a step forward in the further development of the way sensitive data is handled while at the same time providing a better understanding of the functioning of the information society, both throughout the EU in general and in Poland specifically.
