What follows is LexLint's own research summary of this law, not legal advice.

In force since 25 May 2018.

A comprehensive regime rule binding public and private bodies.

As of 24 August 2026.

What it requires

Establish a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Article 6 lawful basis before processing personal data of a person in Slovakia; the Act's own text is not confirmed, and any Slovak-specific addition to that basis is unverified.

What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

Slovakia gives the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) domestic effect through Act No. 18/2018 Coll. on the Protection of Personal Data, effective 25 May 2018. The Act's own text has not been located at primary source. Every finding below rests on two commentary sources (CMS's expert guide and DLA Piper's Data Protection Laws of the World) rather than a primary-source read, and should be treated as unconfirmed until someone reads the Act directly.
