The subject of the GDPR, which is not the simplest, has been discussed taking into account all possible aspects of labour law. The issues of GDPR-compliant procedures for conducting preventive examinations, job candidates’ background checking, cooperation with trade unions and transfer of personal data abroad, in particular within capital groups, were also taken into account. An equally important aspect covered in the book is data processing in times of the society’s progressive digitization.

• What are the rights and obligations of the personal data processor resulting from GDPR regulations?
