On this issue in particular, the State is planning to set up a Personal Data Protection Authority (IPDCP). It will be responsible for enforcing a law in this area, voted on October 23, 2019. To do this, the IDCP will have powers of investigation, intervention and sanction. These will enable it to ensure that any processing of personal data respects the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals at the same time as the interests of the State, local authorities, businesses and other legal entities.
