How does RODO (Polish GDPR) + UODO enforcement affect Magento checkout?

RODO is Poland’s name for GDPR, same regulation. Local enforcement is via UODO (Urząd Ochrony Danych Osobowych), the Polish Data Protection Authority. UODO is moderate in enforcement intensity (less aggressive than CNIL France but stricter than Hungary or Bulgaria), with growing focus on cookie consent + retention.

Concrete Magento impacts:

• Cookie consent banner, UODO requires granular opt-in (no pre-ticked checkboxes), separate consent per purpose (analytics / marketing / personalisation). “Reject all” must be as prominent as “Accept all”.
• Polish-language privacy policy, mandatory in Polish (translation of EN policy isn’t enough for B2C). Includes UODO contact details + data-controller info.
• Polish DPO disclosure, required if you process large-scale personal data (most e-commerce above PLN 10M turnover).
• NIP / REGON / PESEL handling, treated as personal data; encrypt at rest + log access.
• Marketing consent (Ustawa o świadczeniu usług drogą elektroniczną), separate opt-in for email/SMS marketing (Polish law, parallel to RODO).
• Customer data export / deletion, DSAR + right-to-erasure must work end-to-end in Magento.
