Data Advocacy for Slovakia
As a member of the European Union, Slovakia implemented the EU Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC in September 2002 with Act No. 428/2002 Coll., the Data Protection Act, as amended. In order to solve some application problems of Act No. 428/2002 Coll. resulting from the non-uniform interpretation of the definitions under this Act, the new Act No. 122/2013 Coll., the Data Protection Act (‘DPA’), substituting Act No. 428/2002 Coll., has been adopted and is effective as of 1 July 2013 which has been further amended by the Act No. 84/2014 Coll. that is effective as of 15 April 2014.
The Data Protection Office of the Slovak Republic (‘Office’) is: Úrad na ochranu osobných údajov Slovenskej republiky (Official Slovak Name)
Hraniná 12
820 07, Bratislava 27
Slovak Republic
The Office is responsible for overseeing the DPA in Slovakia.
The data controller is responsible for the internal supervision of protection of personal data processed pursuant to the DPA. The data controller may nominate in writing one or more data protection officers for supervising the observation of the DPA provisions in his/her/its company if he/she/it processes the personal data through authorised persons. The Office must be notified of this fact in writing by the data controller without undue delay, but no later than 30 days from such nomination.
Data protection officers may supervise the observation of the DPA provisions on the basis of his/her nomination only following the successful completion of the professional examination at the Office. The particularities of this examination are stipulated in Decree of the Office No. 165/2013 Coll.
Under the DPA, there is no mandatory requirement to report data security breaches or losses to the Office. However, this does not affect the ability of other public authorities to report data security infringements or losses to the Office if they suspect that such an event might have occurred.
Opt-in regime: no direct marketing electronic mail can be legally sent without the express consent of the receiver, unless a pre-existing business or commercial relationship exists. (Consent is however not mandated for marketing to legal persons.)
Also, a specific opt out must be offered with each message. Disguised sender identities are prohibited, and a valid return address must be provided.
The term “Opt-Out Rule” means that the sending of e-marketing to the recipient is permitted on an opt-out basis if:
- the recipient’s details were originally collected “in the context of a sale”.
- the entity sending the marketing is the same legal entity that collected the recipient’s details initially.
- the marketing relates to “similar” products and/or services for which the recipient’s details were originally obtained.
- the recipient is given the opportunity free of charge to object to the e-marketing, both at the time their details were collected and in each subsequent communication.
Applicable Legislation:
Act on e-Commerce (22/2004 Coll.)
Act on Electronic Communications (351/2011 Coll.)
First party e-marketing
(entity that collects the data will send the e-marketing itself)
B2C: Opt-in. Opt-out permitted where Opt-Out Rule applies.
B2B: Opt-in. Opt-out permitted where Opt-Out Rule applies
Third party e-marketing
(entity that collects the data will share with third party partner for e-marketing)
B2C: Opt-in
B2B: Opt-in.
