Abstract
In the face of rapid globalization and rapid technological evolution, new challenges have emerged in terms of personal data protection, demanding a solid and more coherent protection framework in the European Union (EU). Thus, the European Union created a Regulation, in 2016, with the aim of protecting the privacy of personal data of citizens of the European Union. Thus, in May 2018, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 - General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) entered into force. Thus, after 6 years since its creation and four since its entry into force, with this research work, we intend, through a survey, to assess the state of implementation and adoption of the GDPR in Local Public Administration in Portugal, focusing on Municipalities inserted in the Intermunicipal Community of Lands of Trás-os-Montes (CIM-TTM). The results are discussed in the light of the literature and future work is identified with the aim of evaluating the implementation of such an important regulation with regard to secrecy, privacy and preservation of personal data.
