“Your investment in protecting your personal data is a very important investment. Why is personal data important? Personal data is you, it is our identity, so we also try to be as aware as possible.”
Meanwhile, the law on personal data protection is 100% transposed with EU legislation.
Pjerina Mema General Director of Personal Data Protection
“The Law on the Protection of Personal Data is now widely known, and is the first law to be 100% transposed with EU legislation. The education of the younger generation is given special importance.”
In the context of this day, the Commissioner's Office has also undertaken an awareness campaign in 9-year and high schools, through educational materials and informational posters, with the aim of increasing young people's awareness of their online safety.
