Act on the Protection of Personal Data
Slovakia gives the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) domestic effect through Act No. 18/2018 Coll. on the Protection of Personal Data, effective 25 May 2018. This session could not read the Act's own text at all: slov-lex.sk, the official legislative portal, served only a JavaScript navigation shell to both a direct fetch and a crawler-based reader, confirmed on repeated attempts across the wave.
Every finding below rests on two commentary sources (CMS's expert guide and DLA Piper's Data Protection Laws of the World) rather than a primary-source read, and should be treated as unconfirmed until someone reads the Act directly.
What it asks of an app
- Establish a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Article 6 lawful basis before processing personal data of a person in Slovakia; this document could not confirm the Act's own text and any Slovak-specific addition to that basis is unverified.
