KZLD Enforcement and GDPR Article 82
Комисия за защита на личните данни (KZLD, English: Commission for Personal Data Protection) is Bulgaria's supervisory authority; an Inspectorate with the Supreme Judicial Council holds a parallel, narrower oversight role whose exact scope was not established in this pass. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Article 82 arms an individual with a direct private right of action.
Commentary describes a Bulgarian procedural avenue, a complaint to KZLD within 6 months of discovering a violation or a direct administrative court claim, mutually exclusive where Commission proceedings on the same matter are already pending; this is an administrative-enforcement and judicial-review structure rather than a distinct civil damages remedy beyond Article 82, and is recorded here as procedural rather than folded into the private-right-of-action finding's basis.
What it asks of an app
- Expect KZLD to have General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Article 83 fining power over your processing of personal data of a person in Bulgaria.
- Expect any person in Bulgaria who suffered material or non-material damage from an infringement to have a direct GDPR Article 82 right to compensation, pursued either through a KZLD complaint within 6 months or a direct administrative court claim.
