The regulation complements the Personal Data Protection Law, which came into effect in March 2025, by establishing detailed procedures for individuals to exercise their rights regarding their personal information.
Key provisions include:
Prior consent: Individuals must give explicit approval for each purpose of data processing, as well as for withdrawal and use of their data.
Transparency and complaints: Clear mechanisms are set for data processing, receiving complaints, and responding to them.
Rights clarification: The regulation defines the legal rights and obligations of individuals whose data is collected, and the responsibilities of companies and institutions processing such data.
Objection and reporting procedures: Companies must follow specified procedures for individuals to object to data processing and to register complaints.
These measures are intended to boost trust in the digital economy, encourage e-commerce, and ensure personal data is processed only within the legal framework.
