Organic Law 3/2018 on Data Protection and Guarantee of Digital Rights

Spain overview

Spain has a national GDPR overlay

The GDPR applies directly, but it leaves Member States choices in areas such as children, employment, sensitive data, research, freedom of expression, public-sector processing and supervisory procedure. Spain uses its national law to exercise those choices.

National law

ES-LOPDGDD: Organic Law 3/2018 (LOPDGDD)

What to assess

Start with the GDPR baseline, then assess the national provisions concerning age-14 consent, credit, surveillance, deceased persons and workplace digital rights. Apply sector legislation and regulator measures where the national law refers to them.

Compliance method

Use the country-specific law page and controls as a delta layer. Retain the current official text, an applicability decision and evidence for every national rule implemented.
