A Data Protection Officer (DPO) is a person in charge of verifying the compliance of personal data processing with the applicable law. The DPO communicates information on processing personal data such as its purposes, interconnections, types, categories of data subjects, length of retention and department(s) in charge of implementing processing. DPOs may be required by law or recommended.
There is no local legal requirement for organizations to appoint a Data Protection Officer in Serbia. That said, it is generally assumed that an officer within the organization will be managing data management obligations. In cases where this is an officer, they would be the main point of contact for Serbia’s Data Protection Commissioner.
