Law No. 58/2019 Ensuring Execution of the GDPR

National Data Protection Commission

Portugal overview

Portugal 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. Portugal uses its national law to exercise those choices.

National law

PT-LAW-58-2019: Law No. 58/2019

What to assess

Start with the GDPR baseline, then assess the national provisions concerning age-13 consent, deceased-person data, DPO duties, surveillance and health-data access logging. 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.
