LAW
The data protection law applies to the processing of personal data performed, totally or partially, through automatic means, as well as to the processing through means other than automatic. Its provisions also address crucial factors such as legitimate processing, data quality, definitions of the fundamental terms (e.g. operator, data subject, processing etc.), the rights of the data subjects and the obligations of the operators of personal data, and it designates the Romanian Supervisory Authority on data protection.
