Bulgaria overview

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

National law

BG-PDPA: Personal Data Protection Act

What to assess

Start with the GDPR baseline, then assess the national provisions concerning age-14 consent, unsolicited data, identity-document copying, DPO notification and large-scale monitoring rules. 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.
