The national supervisory authority for data protection is the Commission for Personal Data Protection, which, as of 2023, is also the central authority for external whistleblowing and for the protection of persons reporting violations of Bulgarian legislation or acts of the European Union that threaten or harm the public interest. Based on its competencies, it issues administrative acts that hold an important place in Bulgaria’s legal system. This study will examine and analyze the legal acts of the commission, which it issues as a specialized body carrying out supervisory activities to prevent the violation of individuals’ rights and ensure their adequate protection.
