National GDPR implementation law

In Slovenia the GDPR is not implemented by the national law. Slovenia remains the only EU country without the implementing act. While the law has not been implemented, the 2004 "Zakon o varstvu osebnih podatkov (ZVOP-1)" remains in force. Due to the lack of legislation, the Information Commissioner is completely without the power to impose fines and therefore has not been able to impose a single administrative fine since the adoption of the GDPR.

Age of consent

Not defined, but theoretically: 15 years.

Employment context

Data protection matters in the work context are regulated in Art. 46 “Zakon o dlovnih razmerjih (Employment Relationships Act, ZDR-1) and in “Zakon o evidencah na področju dela in socialne varnosti (Labour and Social Security Registers Act, ZEPDSV). The employee's consent to the processing of her/his personal data is strictly judged, with the employee being considered the weaker party to the contract, and the employer (controller) must therefore essentially prove that the employee's personal consent was in fact free.
