GDPR Articles 33-34, Breach Notification in Lithuania

cite Regulation (EU) 2016/679, Arts. 33-34 stage In effect since 2018-07-16 reviewed 2026-08-24

A controller must notify VDAI without undue delay, and within 72 hours where feasible, after becoming aware of a personal data breach affecting a person in Lithuania, and must notify affected individuals without undue delay where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to their rights and freedoms. Neither DLA Piper nor Linklaters reports a Lithuania-specific narrowing of this.
