Spain’s Organic Law 3/2018 on Personal Data Protection and Guarantee of Digital Rights (LOPDGDD) comes into force today, adapting Spanish law to the GDPR and replacing the 1999 data protection law.
Key points
- Supplements the GDPR in Spanish law.
- Introduces new digital rights, including a right to digital disconnection.
- Sets limits on workplace monitoring through video, geolocation and device use.
- The AEPD is one of the EU’s most active enforcers.
UK organisations with Spanish employees or customers should review workplace monitoring practices, HR policies and privacy notices, as the AEPD regularly issues fines for failures in these areas.
