What happened

Category:Article 4(1) GDPR Category:2019 The President of the Personal Data Protection Office in Poland (PUODO) decided to discontinue proceedings concerning the processing of data in connection with the requirement for Polish judges and prosecutors to submit declarations about their membership in associations. The PUODO clarified that the obligation to submit the above mentioned statements clearly results from the provisions of the national law and thus falls under one of the legal grounds in Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. The President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO) stated that he cannot make a decision regarding the constitutionality of such an obligation providing that this is a competence of the Constitutional Tribunal. The Ombudsman has the right to submit motions on the compliance of acts with the Polish Constitution to the Constitutional Tribunal.
