What do these Privacy Rules regulate and on what legal grounds the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) became effective and applicable in Bulgaria since May 25, 2018? GDPR was adopted by the European Union and its purpose is to unify the policies of EU Member States related to the collection and use of personal data. Another of its goals is to guarantee our right to privacy, protect our personal data, ensure better security against misuse of the personal information of each of us. This new EU regulation comes with a number of requirements that Borovitza EOOD has implemented and applied and which you can familiarize yourself with here.
