Inspection activities of the Czech Data Protection Authority in 2021 – what are the key findings?

The Czech Data Protection Authority (“DPA”) has recently published an overview of its inspection activities (Czech) for the first half of 2021. Although a significant part of the inspections this year concerned the public administration and the non-profit sector, the DPA’s conclusions from some of these inspections may also be useful for controllers and processors in the private and commercial spheres. In addition, the DPA also carried out a number of inspections regarding the sending of commercial (marketing) communications, where it again drew attention to non-compliance with what are often very basic rules. We have therefore prepared a short summary of the key take-aways from the published inspections.
