Compliance toolkit

Working templates and tools for the GDPR and for Albanian Law 124/2024. Ask for what you need and we will send it.

Home / Compliance toolkit

Most data protection templates on the internet are written for one regime and then relabelled for another. That is a problem here, because Albanian Law 124/2024 is aligned with the GDPR but not identical to it — the article numbers differ, the deadlines for answering a rights request are a month shorter, and a processor must report a breach to its controller immediately, not merely without undue delay.

So we wrote each one twice: once against the GDPR, in English, and once against Law 124/2024, in Albanian. The tools do both and switch between them.

Tools

Single files that run in your browser. No installation, no account, and no internet connection required after you have them.

RoPA Builder

GDPR Art 30 · Ligji 124/2024 neni 27

Build and maintain your record of processing activities. Switch between the two regimes and the required fields change with them — including the sub-processors field Albanian law states expressly for processors. Tells you which statutory fields each record is still missing.

Breach Register & 72-hour Assistant

GDPR Arts 33–34 · Ligji 124/2024 neni 29

Log every breach, run the two notification decisions, and watch the 72-hour clock. Prompts you for the reasons for delay if the deadline passes, because you have to give them.

Data Subject Rights Tracker

GDPR Art 12 · Ligji 124/2024 neni 12

Track access, erasure and other requests against the deadline that actually applies — one month and three under the GDPR, but 30 days and 60 under Albanian law. Warns you if an extension is recorded after the window to notify it has closed.

DPIA — Guided Assessment

GDPR Arts 35–36 · Ligji 124/2024 nenet 31–32

Screens whether an impact assessment is required at all, then walks the four sections the statute demands, with a risk register scored against harm to people rather than to the business. Tells you when high residual risk means you must consult the authority before you start.

Legitimate Interests Assessment

GDPR Art 6(1)(f) · Ligji 124/2024 neni 7(1)(dh)

The three-part test — purpose, necessity, balancing — with the weighing made explicit so the file shows reasoning rather than a bare conclusion.

Retention Schedule Builder

GDPR Art 5(1)(e) · Ligji 124/2024 neni 6(5)

How long each category is kept, counted from what, on whose authority, and who actually performs the deletion. Flags the three gaps that make a schedule indefensible, and warns when anonymisation is being used as a substitute for deletion.

Transfer Assessment

GDPR Chapter V · Ligji 124/2024 nenet 39–42

Whether a transfer abroad is lawful, on which mechanism, and whether it needs permission first. The mechanism lists are genuinely different: under Albanian law ad-hoc contractual clauses require the Commissioner’s authorisation, so EU Standard Contractual Clauses do not simply carry over.

DPO Designation Assessment

GDPR Arts 37–39 · Ligji 124/2024 nenet 33–34

Whether you must appoint a data protection officer, and the record showing you asked — because the absence of one is itself something you may have to justify. Flags the publication and notification step that appointments usually miss.

Sub-processor Register

GDPR Art 28(2),(4) · Ligji 124/2024 nenet 26(2), 27(2)(c)

Who else touches your controllers’ data, on whose authorisation, and under what contract. Under Albanian law this feeds a statutory record — neni 27(2)(c) expressly requires a processor to name its sub-processors in its record.

Security Measures Register

GDPR Art 32 · Ligji 124/2024 neni 28

The measures you actually have, who owns each, and when each was last tested — because Art 32(1)(d) makes testing effectiveness an obligation, and “industry-standard measures” is not a description. Fills Annex 2 of a processing agreement.

Vendor Due Diligence

GDPR Art 28(1) · Ligji 124/2024 neni 26(1)

Assess a supplier before it touches personal data: 25 questions with evidence recorded against each, critical questions that block approval on their own, and a recorded decision. Prints a clean questionnaire to send to the vendor. A signed contract is a promise; this is the reason to believe it.

Training and Confidentiality Register

GDPR Arts 29, 32(4) · Ligji 124/2024 nenet 28(4), 30

Who has access, when they were inducted, when their refresher falls due, and whether they are bound to confidentiality. Flags leavers whose access removal was never recorded — and, under Albanian law, a confidentiality duty kept in a side letter when neni 30(1) wants it in the employment contract.

Internal Audit Checklist

GDPR Arts 5(2), 24(1) · Ligji 124/2024 nenet 6(7), 22(1)

An annual walk through the whole programme — 41 requirements, each cited to the right article under the regime you pick, each marked against evidence. Every gap becomes an owned, dated action, and unresolved ones carry into next year’s audit with the date they were first found.

Data Processing Agreement

GDPR Art 28 · English

Controller-to-processor agreement covering every element of Article 28(3), with annexes for the processing details, security measures and sub-processors.

Privacy Notice

GDPR Arts 13–14 · English

Covering all the required content, including the six items most notices leave out.

Kontratë për përpunimin e të dhënave

Ligji 124/2024 neni 26 · Shqip

Kontratë kontrollues–përpunues, e shkruar sipas nenit 26 — jo e përkthyer nga GDPR.

Njoftim privatësie

Ligji 124/2024 neni 13 · Shqip

Model njoftimi, përfshirë pjesën për të dhënat e marra jo nga subjekti dhe afatet 30/60 ditë.

Data Protection Policy

GDPR Art 24(2) · English

Internal policy with a named owner against every responsibility, because a policy that allocates nothing only documents that you knew the obligations.

Breach Response Procedure

GDPR Arts 33–34 · English

What to do in the first hour and the first day, who decides on notification, and what gets recorded whether or not you notify.

Politika e mbrojtjes së të dhënave personale

Ligji 124/2024 neni 22 · Shqip

Politikë e brendshme me përgjegjës të emëruar, afatet 30/60 ditë dhe kërkesën e nenit 27 për dokumentim në formë të shkruar dhe elektronike.

Procedura për cenimin e të dhënave personale

Ligji 124/2024 neni 29 · Shqip

72 orët e para, dy vendimet e njoftimit, dhe fakti që përpunuesi duhet të njoftojë “menjëherë” — standard më i rreptë se GDPR-ja.

Appointment of an EU Representative

GDPR Art 27 · English

For a controller or processor with no EU establishment caught by Art 3(2) — the obligation non-EU businesses miss most often, and one a regulator can check in a minute.

Joint Controller Arrangement

GDPR Art 26 · English

Allocating responsibilities where two parties jointly decide purposes and means — with a warning about the characterisation, since independent controllers need a different document entirely.

Caktimi i përfaqësuesit

Ligji 124/2024 neni 25 · Shqip

Për kontrollues ose përpunues të pavendosur në Shqipëri që u ofrojnë shërbime subjekteve këtu.

Marrëveshje ndërmjet kontrolluesve të përbashkët

Ligji 124/2024 neni 24 · Shqip

Ndarja e përgjegjësive kur dy palë i përcaktojnë bashkërisht qëllimet dhe mjetet e përpunimit.

Your data stays on your machine. The tools contain no network code at all — what you type is held in your own browser and in files you export yourself. Nothing reaches us, which is the only honest way to hand a privacy tool to someone.

A template is a starting point, not advice. Each one has to be adapted to what you actually do with personal data before you rely on it. If you would rather not do that alone, that is the work we sell.
