PRINCIPLES OF ENTRUSTING THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNIT WITH TASKS RELATED TO THE PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA

The purpose of the publication is to analyze the principles of entrusting a local government service unit with tasks related to the provision of services involving the protection of personal data. The need to consider this issue results from the fact that local government units may freely adjust the scope of joint service provided by the service units, depending on their needs. An exemplary catalog of the types of tasks that may be covered by joint service enables the ongoing creation of solutions that respond to new phenomena and needs emerging in local government administration, including technical solutions. This is confirmed by the expression in particular used by the legislator in the local government acts. It should be assumed that the scope of joint service provided by local government service units is open, and therefore it also allows entrusting this entity with tasks in the field of personal data protection, whose administrators or processors are serviced units.
