Εφαρμογή και επιπτώσεις του γενικού κανονισμού προστασίας δεδομένων (GDPR) στην ελληνική πραγματικότητα (μελέτη περιπτώσεων)

Abstract

The rapid development of technology and the media is a phenomenon that has affected many areas of modern human life. As rapidly changing technology makes information more and more available, scholars and policymakers are trying to determine privacy, and many admit that this task is almost impossible. In understanding the privacy there is an objective difficulty in defining complementary concepts. No definition can work, because there are multiple forms of privacy that are related to family similarities. A theory of bridging cultural differences and facing historical changes in views on privacy is crucial to the protection of personal data by electronic communications The protection of personal data is of increasing importance as it is a fundamental human right. In Greece, the relevant legislation has been aligned with the European legislative framework and continues to adopt rules and regulations to protect the specific significant extensions of electronic communications and personal data protection, such as the entry into our lives by GDPR law. This postgraduate thesis will present the legal historical aspects of personal data protection as well as the steps that a company must take to move to the GDPR and the role of the DPO. In this context, the strategic plan and the phases of compliance with GDPR of the Greek pharmaceutical company VIANEX and the Bank will be presented, aiming to compare the theoretical background of the new Regulation with its practical application.
