Is there an obligation to notify the appointment of DPO to the Inspector General?

If the data controller uses its right and appoints a data protection officer then, in line with Art. 46b paragraph 1 of the Data Protection Act, it has 30 days from the day of appointment of DPO for notification of this fact to the Inspector General.

 If the data controller decides that the previous DPO will still perform this function after the change of the provisions of the Data Protection Act, it is necessary to fulfill all the conditions established in Art. 36a paragraphs 5, 7, and 8 of the Data Protection Act. In such a case DPO appointed before 1 January 2015 should be notified to registration to the Inspector General until 30 June 2015. If the data controller fails to notify the so far DPO, after 30 June 2015 it will not perform its function anymore, and the tasks of DPO contained in Art. 36a paragraph 2 point 1 of the Data Protection Act (with the exception of drawing up of reports) are to be fulfilled by the data controller, which bears full responsibility for compliance with personal data protection provisions. 

DPOs notified to registration to the Inspector General will be entered into the open register (Art. 46c of the Data Protection Act). The data controller that notifies DPO to registration is obliged to notify to the Inspector General any change of information that is included in the notification of appointment of DPO within 14 days, as well as its dismissal within 30 days, accordingly to the day of change or dismissal.

Notification of appointment of DPO to registration to the Inspector General as well as notification of dismissal of DPO shall be made with the use of templates of appointment and dismissal of the data protection officer, which form the appendix to the Regulation by the Minister of Administration and Digitalisation of 10th December 2014 (Journal of Laws of 2014, item 1934). The template of notification can be also used for notification of changes in the register.
