Frequently asked questions about GDPR

Does GDPR also apply to a small company or sole trader?

Yes. GDPR applies to anyone who processes personal data of employees, customers or suppliers, regardless of size. However, the scope of obligations differs depending on what data you process and how.

Must companies with fewer than 250 employees keep records of processing activities?

In practice, yes. The exemption for smaller companies does not apply if the processing is not occasional, and processing employee or customer data is not occasional (Art. 30(5) GDPR).

Do we need a data protection officer?

Only in the cases set out in Art. 37 GDPR: if you are a public authority, or if your core activity involves large-scale and systematic monitoring of people or large-scale processing of special categories of data. We will assess this and, if necessary, provide a data protection officer as an outsourced service. More in our article GDPR data protection officer (in Slovak).

What should we do in the event of a personal data leak?

A personal data breach must be reported to the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic within 72 hours of discovery if it is likely to result in a risk to people's rights (Art. 33 GDPR). If the risk is high, the data subjects must also be informed.

Who supervises GDPR compliance?

The Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic. We will prepare documents for you and advise you during an inspection.

What fine can be imposed for a GDPR breach?

Under Art. 83 GDPR up to €20 million or 4% of worldwide annual turnover, and for certain breaches up to €10 million or 2% of turnover.
