Summary

The purpose of the bill is to implement the EU's general regulation on personal data protection and the directive concerning law enforcement agencies in Estonian law. The general principles of personal data protection will not change. In the bill, the principles of personal data processing, supervision and liability provisions are reflected in the law. The use of personal data is mainly regulated by the directly applicable general regulation. The general regulation leaves the possibility for the member state to specify special cases of the use of personal data within the country. The bill establishes a unified legal framework for the protection of personal data in investigative institutions, the prosecutor's office, prisons, etc. With the law, the protection of personal data becomes more effective. People's ability to control how and by whom their personal data is processed and to whom it is transmitted improves.
