EU GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR) - ANONYMISATION AND PSEUDONYMISATION IN FUNCTION OF DATA PROTECTION

Summary/Abstract: By signing the Stabilization and Association Agreement, Bosnia and Herzegovina has taken obligation to align its legislation, which concerns the protection of personal data with the law of the Community and other European and international privacy laws. On May 25, 2018, EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) entered into force in all the countries of the European Union. The protection of the rights and freedoms of individuals with regard to processing of personal data requires that appropriate technical and organizational measures be taken to ensure compliance with the requirements of this GDPR. As health care institutions deal with processing of data related to patient health, we are talking about the processing of special categories of personal data, on which GDPR attaches great importance. In this paper, general anonymization and pseudonymization procedures will be presented, which are recognized as useful protective mechanisms in the General Data Protection Regulation and as such should be used for the protection of data relating to patient health.
