Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection has launched an ex officio investigation of the implementation of the said Law by "EAGLE HILLS PROPERTIES" d.o.o. pursuant to Article 54 of the Law on Personal Data Protection.

On the basis of the information received from citizens and the content of the electronic message posted on the Internet it can be concluded that "EAGLE HILLS PROPERTIES" d.o.o. requests and obtains copies of personal documents of interested parties (passport or ID cards) for the purpose of organizing meetings in order to sell apartments, the Commissioner in a letter sent to this Company requested them to reply in writing to several questions, ranging from whether the electronic message that appeared on the Internet is authentic, i.e. what kind of processing of personal data is performed, and then regarding the purpose, the legal grounds for data collection, the amount of collected data, users, the potential transfer of data from the country and so on.

It is indisputable that the presence of as large as possible number of foreign investors and companies in our market is something which is in the interest of our country and deserves support. However, the Commissioner is of the view that their desirable presence does not in any case exclude, but rather implies compliance with the laws of the Republic of Serbia, and that there are serious indications that in this particular case this is not so. After the investigation, the Commissioner will, as usual, inform the public about the results and take any necessary measures.
