This paper is aimed to draw attention to the widespread problem of identity theft in virtual space as a result of increasing technological progress and the increasingly significant involvement of society in cyberspace, which has become an area not only of culture and entertainment, but also work space, as well as the space for ordinary daily activities where flow, disclosure and deliberate or unintentional transfer of personal data take place – unfortunately, often without any precautions. The multitude and diversity of both guidelines and other legal regulations suggest that the field of personal data protection and cyberspace security is highly evolving and deserves special attention in a time of intensive implementation of IT solutions; this field requires the highest possible degree of adaptation. Importantly, drawing attention to the path of identity theft, most often initiated by a simple human error or negligence, leads to the conclusion that raising awareness in this area is crucial and that as much attention as possible should be devoted to this issue.

The protection of personal data is one of the core values of modern European societies. This protection is provided by the law of the European Union and by the national legislations of the Member States, to which the Republic of Bulgaria also belongs. As of May 25, 2018, the protection of personal data is being expanded and updated in response to technological progress and the increasingly accelerated data exchange. The reason for this is the entry into force of Regulation (EU ) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR) and the changes in our national law that it imposes. In the sense of what has been said so far, the issues of personal data protection in children’s institutions are especially relevant, because these organizations actively handle personal data at any level of children, parents, teachers and staff. In this article, we will try to give short answers to some of the most important questions regarding personal data and the rules for their protection, according to European and Bulgarian legislation.

Due to this lack of uniformity of regulations, Archives has often been faced with requests for destroying the kind of records which have to be permanently retained. The paper also proposes possible solutions for overcoming this problem by both protecting the rights of individuals and remaining consistent to archival legislation.

Abstract In the review below the author presents a general overview of the selected contemporary legal issues related to the present growth of the aviation industry and the development of aviation technologies. The review is focused on the questions at the intersection of aviation law and personal data protection law. Massive processing of passenger data (Passenger Name Record, PNR) in IT systems is a daily activity for the contemporary aviation industry. Simultaneously, since the mid- 1990s we can observe the rapid growth of personal data protection law as a very new branch of the law. The importance of this new branch of the law for the aviation industry is however still questionable and unclear. This article includes the summary of the author’s own research conducted between 2011 and 2017, in particular his audits in LOT Polish Airlines (June 2011-April 2013) and Lublin Airport (July - September 2013) and the author’s analyses of public information shared by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), International Air Transport Association (IATA), Association of European Airlines (AEA), Civil Aviation Authority (ULC) and (GIODO). The purpose of the author’s research was to determine the applicability of the implementation of technical and organizational measures established by personal data protection law in aviation industry entities.

The subject of this research is the problems emerging in the process of establishment and development of the Institution of personal data protection in the Russian Federation. Special attention is turned to the comparison of Soviet and Western models of protection of private life and personal data. The authors used interdisciplinary approach, as comprehensive and coherent understanding of socio-legal institution of personal data protection in the Russian Federation is only possible in inseparable connection with examination of peculiarities of the key historical stages in legal regulation of private life of the citizen. After dissolution of the Soviet political and legal system, the primary task of Russian law consisted in development and legal formalization of the institution of protection of human and civil rights and freedoms, first and foremost by means of restricting invasion of privacy by the state and enjoyment of personal freedom. It is concluded that the peculiarities of development of the new Russian political and legal model significantly impacted the formation of the institution of personal data protection in the Russian Federation. The authors believe that the Russian legislator and competent government branches are not always capable to manage the entire information flow of personal data; therefore, one of the priority tasks in modern Russian society is the permanent analysis and constant monitoring of the development of information technologies.
