Summary/Abstract: The digitalisation of proceedings before the registry courts and the accompanying digitalisationof the registry files kept within the Polish National Court Register (“NCR”) has revealed the inad-equate level of protection of processed personal data. There is “redundant” personal data availablewithin the public register, the processing of which is not justified by any legal basis.The law does not provide effective and adequate measures implementing the right to protec-tion of personal data processed in the NCR system. Courts, being the controllers of the personaldata processed within the digitalised NCR, are excluded from the supervision exercised by thepublic administration body appointed for this purpose – the President of the Personal Data Pro-tection Office. The provisions of the Act on the common courts system introduce separate com-plaint proceedings and supervisory authorities in this respect. However, these solutions should beassessed critically, as they do not ensure effective protection.
