Key instruments
Law on Personal Data
2010 · In force
A 2010 consent-based law with registration requirements; enforcement is limited and the framework predates modern adtech questions.
Marketing and advertising
Consent-first framework with registration duties. Treat the consent note above as the planning rule; the penalty line below is what mispricing it costs.
Cross-border transfers
Transfers are restricted to adequate destinations unless the individual consents.
Enforcement and penalties
The authority can impose administrative fines. How often the authority actually enforces sets the real price.
