MORALES-FERRER, SALVADOR. THE SPANISH AGENCY FOR DATA PROTECTION: A BRIEF STUDY ON ITS LEGAL NATURE, LEGAL REGIME, AND STATE AND AUTONOMOUS DEPARTMENT STRUCTURE. Novum Jus [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.2, pp.173-194.  Epub Aug 07, 2022. ISSN 1692-6013.  https://doi.org/10.14718/novumjus.2020.14.2.8.

After the adoption of Organic Law 5/1992 on the regulation of the automated treatment of data of a personal nature, on October 29, the Spanish Agency for Data Protection (AEPD) was created. This was necessary to later regulate the treatment of the data protection law in Spain. Later, Spanish legislators adapted the Organic Law 3/2018 (December 5) of protection of personal data and the guarantee of digital rights (LPD) to EU Regulation 2016/679 of the European Parliament and Council of April 27, 2016, regarding the protection of physical persons with respect to the treatment of personal data and the free circulation of this data.

Keywords : Spanish Agency for Data Protection; Data Protection Law; European Regulations.
