Published a Guide for the implementation of the European Regulation on the protection of personal data

  • 02/05/2017

The new Regulation no. 679/2016, published on the European Official Gazette on 4th May 2016, abrogates the previous Directive 95/46/EC and so redefines the European legislation on the protection of personal data.

The Regulation will be fully effective as of 25th May 2018. By the date, undertakings and public entities, so-called “controllers”, will have to comply with the amendments introduced by the Regulation.

With a view to this, on 28th April 2017 the Italian Data Protection Authority has published a Guide for the implementation of the Regulation. Such Guide is divided into six sections. Each of them highlights the aspects which are going to change and those which are not going to change, by making a comparison with the current legislation on the protection of personal data.

This Guide, which may be modified and adapted, aims at giving a support to the so-called “controllers”, as well as illustrating all guarantees and rights that the Regulation gives to natural persons.
