LAW
Even though Romania has only been a member of the European Union
since 1 January 2007, the EU Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC was
implemented into national legislation in November 2001 through Law
no 677/2001 on the protection of individuals with regards to the
processing of personal data and the free movement of such data
("Data Protection Law").
DEFINITION OF PERSONAL DATA
"Personal Data" is defined under the Data Protection
Law as any information referring to an identified or identifiable
natural person. An identifiable person is one who can be identified
either directly or indirectly by referring to a personal
identification number or to one or several distinctive factors that
are typical for the physical, physiological, mental, economic,
cultural or social identity of the respective person.
