Commission for Personal Data Protection for Development in the Area of Personal Data Protection takes into account the strengths of a more than ten years’ experience amassed by the Commission, the weaknesses in the application of the regulatory framework in the area of personal data protection so far, the opportunities for a further sustained development of the Commission’s practice, as well as the threats concomitant with personal data processing and protection. The Strategy complies with the requirements of the Personal Data Protection Act, as well as with the new EU legislation in this area: Regulation (EU) No 2016/679, Directive (EU) 2016/680, and Directive (EU) 2016/681.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">The Commission for the Protection of Personal Data developed the present Strategy in accordance with the National Development Programme: Bulgaria 2020 and taking note of the Strategy for Development of the State Administration (2014 – 2020). The CPDP seeks to build confidence in citizens upon the protection of their personal data as a fundamental right of all Europeans.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: 150%;"></div> <h3><span style="line-height: 150%;">Introduction</span></h3> <div style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">Globalisation, which extends to all spheres of public life, leads, among other things, to a globalisation of the threats and challenges facing personal data protection. This calls for a coordinated response from all stakeholders which, in turn, gives rise to a need to apply uniform standards and modes of action. In its operation, the Commission for Personal Data Protection relies on two established European principles. One such principle is impartiality: the Commission works independently and objectively, seeking to balance the disparate conflicting interests, within the bounds of legality. Besides this, the CPDP applies the principle of transparency in its work, communicating its activity to the public in easily comprehensible language. All this is done respecting stakeholders’ legitimate interests and in search of pragmatic solutions to the benefit of citizens and business.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">The digital revolution poses a major challenge to personal data protection at the beginning of the 21st century. As a data protection supervisor, the Commission endeavours to safeguard the public interest. This task involves various challenges which should be addressed systematically. To this end, the Commission will seek partnership with similar authorities, representatives of the public and private sector, as well as civil society.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">Fulfilling its obligations, the Commission endeavours to keep abreast as much as possible of the new challenges, not to pose difficulties to innovation and business, and to harmonise proactively data protection legislation and policies at the national and European level.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">The strategic document sets out performance evaluation means and indicators, which are to be detailed in an Action Plan.

An interim evaluation and analysis of the implementation are envisaged. The purpose of this mechanism is to initiate corrective action so that the expected results and the CPDP strategic objective can be achieved as effectively as possible.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">The availability of a strategic document enables a sustainable development in the area of personal data protection. The Strategy underlies the Commission’s long-term operation. Considering the rapidly changing new trends in the area of personal data protection, the Strategy (Horizon 2022) lays down a mechanism for a review of the Commission’s tactical and short-term actions to serve as a basis for the development of a follow-up strategy by the next complement of the CPDP.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: 150%;"> <a name="Mission"></a></div> <p> </p> <h3><b><span style="line-height: 150%;">1.

Since its establishment the Commission for Personal Data Protection has achieved significant results by building its own administrative capacity and shaping a personal data protection system which functions within the territory of Bulgaria. Current global and European trends confront the Commission, in its supervisory role, with serious challenges in connection with the fulfilment of its obligations, but also provide fresh opportunities for coping with the new difficulties.</span></div> <div style="text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: 150%; page-break-after: auto; margin: 0in 0in 6.0pt 0in;"> <b><span style="line-height: 150%;">2.1.

The personal data protection system has evolved in regulatory terms, ushered in by the adoption of the Personal Data Protection Act in 2002. In the ensuing years, the CPDP was actively involved in the follow-up development and shaping of that system, both through legislation amending and supplementing the PDPA and through the adoption of Ordinance No 1 on the minimum level of technical and organisational measures and the admissible type of personal data protection and by consulting a number of statutory instruments relevant to personal data protection.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 6.0pt 0in;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">· </span><span style="line-height: 150%;">Administrative capacity has been built, and a functioning institution has been set up with a full complement of effective human resources.

The ground-laying frameworks and regulations are drafted at the European Union level and are implemented only later at the national level by the competent supervisory authorities. This requires adequate actions to align and harmonise the application of these rules at the national level. Besides this, the General Data Protection Regulation establishes a fundamentally new environment for interaction among the supervisory authorities within the EU. After the Regulation starts to apply in May 2018, they will be required not simply to exchange information but to work actively together in order to solve the problems of data controllers and data subjects in Europe. In this connection, the European coherence policy is a mandatory element of the CPDP’s strategy with a view to complying with the requirements of the Regulation and asserting the leading positions of the Bulgarian supervisory authority in the European data protection architecture.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 6.0pt 0in;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">The European coherence policy also concerns the international formats of data protection, which provide a solid platform for the exchange of ideas and good practices in line with the latest trends.

Judging from experience, preventive action is far more effective in reducing breaches than any other measures. Besides this, prevention saves time, human and financial resources and helps increase the level of personal data and privacy protection. It is particularly effective in forestalling breaches in the area of personal data protection that are committed out of ignorance (target group: </span><span style="line-height: 150%;">DC).</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">Prevention is pursued mainly through delivery of training and raising awareness of personal data protection, as well as issuing directions addressed at data controllers. One of the most significant and large-scale measures through which this policy is to be implemented is the setting up of a national training centre providing the best possible conditions for the training and certification of data protection officers and data controllers in Bulgaria. The measures implementing this policy also include deepening interaction with all stakeholders among data controllers, as well as an overall assertion of the CPDP’s recognisability, in order to improve understanding of the issues related to personal data protection.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 6.0pt 0in;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">Prevention is among the most comprehensive and large-scale policies that the CPDP has opted to implement.

The Commission is empowered to conduct checks and impose administrative sanctions. In line with the latest trends in the area of personal data protection, the Commission also relies on the accountability principle which, in most general terms, represents a set of approved measures and procedures that data controllers are expected to follow for the purpose of achieving transparency and accessibility of the data processing process.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 6.0pt 0in;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">Regulation (EU) 2016/679 broadens and aligns the powers of personal data protection supervisory authorities in connection with their supervisory powers.

Deepening cooperation with similar authorities at the international level, as well as with all stakeholders at the national level, is one of the principal objectives of the CPDP that would lead to uniform operating processes in the area of personal data protection (target group: similar authorities and stakeholders).
