We are confronted with personal data on a daily basis without even realising it. In re-cent years, due to the development of technology and other circumstances, personal data have been increasingly put at risk. The legal regime for the handling of personal data is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation, which has been in force since 2018, and in the Republic of Slovenia this regulation is supplemented by the Personal Data Protection Act (ZVOP-2), adopted at the end of 2022.
In my thesis, the privacy rights of individuals, the tele-material regulations and, in more detail, the fundamental principles regulated in domestic law are examined. It also pre-sents the issues that arise in the access to and processing of personal data. A compa-rative method between the GDPR and the GDPR, their advantages, disadvantages and novelties is used, and the application of the PDPA will be included.
In order to solve the problem and the dilemma, two research questions are posed and will be defined in more detail. For the first research question, it is noted that the GDPR is a stricter law that applies to the whole of Europe, while only to Slovenia. The diffe-rence is that the GDPR has no impact on country-specific procedures, whereas the PDPA only applies when it comes to administrative procedures. The second research question notes that both authorities respect the protection of personal data at a high level, which means that the public can rely on the authorities as they comply with the prescribed laws, which in turn brings benefits to the individual. In future, I think it would be good to highlight both authorities and companies and their ways of protecting per-sonal data, as well as to provide training on the rights of individuals and subsequent innovations.
