BACKGROUND
Continuous technological advancements drive changes in institutional service delivery, necessitating ongoing development and causing many actors to be challenged with dilemmas regarding the processing of personal data. As a result, institutions must strive to harmonize and adapt their internal rules and local legislation to meet the best standards.
With the increasing reliance of digital public services, the Agency for Information Society (AIS) in Kosovo faces a pressing need to regulate personal data protection through the provision of e-services. According to the findings of the last survey conducted on the user satisfaction of the e-Kosova portal, there are prevalent concerns regarding personal data privacy, suggesting the need for clear privacy policies and regulated procedures.
Regulations on personal data protection are indispensable for the Information Privacy Agency (IPA), as it provides a robust framework for the safeguarding of personal data among the local institutions. According to Law No. 06/L-082 on Protection of Personal Data, all institutions responsible for monitoring the legitimacy of personal data processing shall ensure that the data is protected and processed in the manner specified in this law (Article 40). Given that the e-Kosova portal, administered by AIS, collects the personal data of registered users, AIS is highly encouraged to issue its internal act in which it describes the procedure to ensure the protection of personal data including the integrity of data, privacy and confidentiality.
In personal data protection, for users of e-Kosova portal, it is also important to further modify and develop the existing privacy policies and the consent statement enabled through the portal. Adjusting these two items in the portal ensures e-Kosova users that AIS protects their personal data, thereby it increases trust in electronic interactions provided by the state portal.
All these efforts will enable AIS to improve its digital environment in terms of personal data protection in alignment with Law No. 06/L-082 and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Providing data privacy policies, consent forms, and working towards an internal act for personal data protection ensures privacy rights, transparency, fairness, and accountability in personal data handling practices.
The USAID/Kosovo e-Governance Activity (KeG) aims to improve the Government of Kosovo’s digital service delivery and management of digital government systems by clarifying institutional roles and processes, strengthening institutional capacity to deliver services, and engaging civil society and the private sector. The activity will accelerate the transformation into an agile digital government, which ensures that Kosovans receive high-quality, efficient, and accessible government services. The Activity focuses on the following three program objectives:
