Lithuanian firm LAWIN Lideika, Petrauskas, Valiūnas ir partneriai reports that recent amendments to Lithuania’s Law on Legal Protection of Personal Data and the Law on Electronic Communications have established a breach notification requirement. Specifically, providers of publicly-available electronic communications services or of public communications networks must notify the data protection authority of data security breaches, and, when the breach is likely to have an adverse effect on the privacy of affected individuals, the data controller also may be required to notify those individuals.
