While performing this task, the Inspector General for Personal Data Protection among others accepts notifications of personal data filing systems to registration, handles received notifications in terms of compliance with the statutory provisions, and in case of compliance enters the filing system into the “National register of personal data filing systems”.The data filing system can be entered into the register, if the registration proceedings proves that none of the prerequisites for refusal of registration exists, in accordance with Art. 44 para. 1 of the Act on Personal Data Protection.
Pursuant to Art. 42 (2) of the Act on the Protection of Personal Data the register kept by the Inspector General for Personal Data Protection is an open register. Interested persons may consult the register in the Bureau of the Inspector General or by means of e-GIODO electronic platform, which allows a search according to many criteria such as name of the filing system, controller’s name, controller’s seat or REGON number.
