Slovakia's new commercial register portal has made it easier for ordinary users to access sensitive personal data of company representatives. According to published information, ordinary users can electronically access ID numbers, addresses, signature samples, and in some cases document numbers. aktuality.sk ↗
The opposition warns that such data could increase the risk of fraud, identity theft, sophisticated attacks on entrepreneurs, and document forgery. They criticize that the data is now more easily accessible than before, when access to documents in the file collection was subject to stricter electronic conditions. Justice Minister Boris Susko claims this is not a problem and that the current setup will not be changed. postoj.sk ↗
The Office for the Protection of Personal Data has also intervened in the matter. It stated that sensitive data in the commercial register should have been anonymized, and has initiated proceedings against the Ministry of Justice regarding personal data protection. The opposition is calling for better system security and an explanation of why the state allowed easier access to data that could be misused. teraz.sk ↗
Further developments will depend on the outcome of the office's proceedings and whether the Ministry of Justice will make technical or legislative amendments to the portal. The dispute also raises a broader question of how the state should balance the public nature of the commercial register with the protection of entrepreneurs' personal data. Aktuality.sk - Domáce ↗
