Data protection

The new European Regulation EU 2016/679 of the European Parliament (Law 119) on the processing of personal data, as well as on the free circulation of these data, was published on 4 May 2016 and came into effect on 25 May 2018.

The English version is available from the EU Regulation page on the website of Italy's supervisory authority: www.garanteprivacy.it/en/home_en

The European Regulation, also known as the "GDPR", is directly applicable and binding in all EU Member States, with no legislation being required at national government level except in specific situations in which the GDPR allows for referrals, derogations or the introduction of additional laws by each Member State. In order to apply the GDPR, the University of Padova has taken the following steps:

• Appointment of a Data-protection officer. Director General's Decree no. 1374 dated 18 April 2019 appointed Mrs Maria Rosaria Falconetti as Data-protection officer: privacy@unipd.it
• Reporting data-protection breaches
