Data Protection Compliance in Poland
Almost every business processes personal data, which means GDPR compliance applies almost universally — not just to tech companies. In Poland, this is overseen by the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO), implementing the EU-wide GDPR alongside Act on the Protection of Personal Data of 10 May 2018.
BIZ TRP confirms exactly what your business needs before you commit to anything.

Why work with BIZ TRP
GDPR fines are genuinely severe — up to €20 million or 4% of global turnover — but most businesses don't need the heaviest compliance measures. Getting the right-sized approach for your actual risk matters.
- We assess your actual data processing. Not a generic checklist — what you actually collect and why.
- We confirm whether you need a DPO. Right-sized compliance, not over-engineering for a small operation.
- We prepare your compliance documentation. Privacy policies and breach-notification procedures that actually match your business.
Common questions
Do I need to formally register with the authority?
Under GDPR, there's generally no formal registration requirement itself — the obligation is to comply, and to be able to demonstrate compliance if asked.
Does every business need a Data Protection Officer?
No — it depends on the scale and nature of your data processing. We confirm whether your specific business meets the threshold.
