Requests for access to public information and transparency assessment

Requests for access to public information

The right of access to public information allows you to obtain the information that the Catalan Data Protection Authority (APDCAT) has prepared and that it has in its possession as a result of its activity or the exercise of its functions.

Evaluation report of the APDCAT transparency portal

The Catalan Data Protection Authority, by virtue of its independence as a data protection supervisory authority, has its own transparency portal and is responsible for evaluating its content.

This self-assessment complies with transparency obligations. In this regard, the Law 19/2014, of 29 December, on transparency, access to public information and good governance, foresees that obligated entities establish procedures based on objective indicators to assess compliance with transparency obligations. In turn, Decree 8/2021, of 9 February, on transparency and the right of access to public information, requires each public administration to establish adequate procedures for internal compliance evaluation and active publication.

This report fulfils the two obligations set out in the Decree: 

• Establishing adequate procedures to evaluate compliance.
• Actively publishing this evaluation
