ARROWS successfully passed the inspection by the Office for Personal Data Protection
ARROWS Law Firm represented a client during an inspection by the Office for Personal Data Protection (ÚOOÚ) focused on the processing of personal data and the configuration of internal processes. The goal was to minimize the risk of penalties while ensuring that the documentation was in order to withstand future inspections. Thanks to the chosen strategy and active communication with the authority, the inspection was concluded without any penalties.
ARROWS provided legal support to the client from the moment the Office for Personal Data Protection (ÚOOÚ) announced the inspection. In the initial phase, the firm conducted a rapid legal audit of the existing GDPR documentation, particularly records of processing activities, internal guidelines, consent forms, and contracts with processors. Based on the findings, a strategy of active cooperation with the supervisory authority was adopted, supplemented by the immediate rectification of identified deficiencies. This approach was chosen as the most effective, as it reduced the risk of sanctions while creating the impression of a transparent and cooperative entity—a crucial factor in the ÚOOÚ’s assessment of the severity of violations.
ARROWS also prepared responses to the authority’s requests, structured communication with the supervisory authority, and ensured that missing documentation was supplemented in accordance with GDPR requirements. The solution also included setting up the client’s internal processes, including amending contracts with processors and reviewing the legal grounds for processing personal data. The result was the conclusion of the inspection without the imposition of a fine, while simultaneously establishing a fully functional compliance framework that allows the client to safely continue processing personal data and minimize risks during future inspections.
