Lithuania: VDAI issues 2021 annual report on personal data protection supervision
The State Data Protection Inspectorate ('VDAI') announced, on 11 July 2022, that it had issued its 2021 annual report of personal data protection supervision in Lithuania. In particular, the VDAI highlighted that the personal data protection supervision activities in Lithuania are carried out by two institutions, namely the VDAI and Office of the Inspector of Journalist Ethics when personal data is processed for the purposes of journalistic, academic, artistic, or literary purposes. In this regard, the VDAI specified that the report contains information from both institutions.
Furthermore, the report provides that, in 2021, the VDAI focused on the following three activity priorities:
- increasing the knowledge, competence, and skills of data controllers, data protection officers ('DPO'), and data subjects in the area of protection of personal data;
- contributing to increasing trust in the processing of personal data by the public sector; and
- strengthening of international cooperation in the area of protection of personal data.
