Analyzing critical legal trends and developments across data, cyber, AI and digital regulations from around the world and beyond borders

In brief

The first sentence is long and could be divided for better clarity. Example: “By means of Resolution No. 145/2025, published in the Official Gazette on August 4, 2025 (‘Resolution’), the Agency for Access to Public Information (AAIP) created the Program for Strengthening Personal Data Protection in the National Public Administration (‘Program’). The main aim is to incorporate best practices in the field of personal data protection within the scope of the State.


In focus

As part of the AAIP’s Strategic Plan 2022–2026 (more information here), four strategic objectives were established to guide the AAIP’s work. The first strategic objective is to promote and strengthen the exercise of citizens’ rights to personal data protection and access to public information, with the formulation and implementation of the Program set as an expected outcome.

Consequently, the AAIP created the Program, which sets forth these objectives:

  • Promote compliance with applicable regulations and encourage best practices in personal data protection within the National Public Administration (“Administration”), ensuring informational self-determination, legal certainty, and transparency in data processing.
  • Instruct public bodies within the Administration to implement effective protection mechanisms that guarantee citizens’ right to personal data protection.
  • Encourage public officials within the Administration to incorporate good practices for personal data processing into their daily work.
  • Establish and strengthen a network of personal data protection officers within the Administration, equipped with high-level administrative and technical capabilities in the field.
  • Promote legal certainty and build a relationship of trust between the citizens and the Administration.
  • Facilitate the exercise of citizens’ rights to personal data protection.

Finally, the Resolution repeals Disposition No. 7/2008, which had approved the “Guide to Best Practices in Privacy Policies for Public Sector Databases” and the model text of the “Confidentiality Agreement”.
