What this law does
Section 78(7) of Act No. 18/2018 Coll. requires a controller and a processor that process personal data for archiving, scientific, historical research or statistical purposes to adopt appropriate safeguards for the data subject's rights, which include appropriate and effective technical and organisational measures, in particular to ensure data minimisation and pseudonymisation.
Act No. 18/2018 Coll. defines pseudonymisation as processing personal data so that they cannot be attributed to a specific data subject without additional information that is kept separately and covered by technical and organisational measures.
Section 7 of Act No. 18/2018 Coll. treats further processing for archiving, scientific, historical research or statistical purposes as compatible with the original purpose where it accords with a special regulation and the safeguards under section 78(7) are observed.
