- The petition and its file
- The petitioner’s surname or name, domicile or registered office, e-mail address if a reply is requested by this means, subject and reasoning, attached documents. Anonymous petitions or those submitted without indicating a postal or electronic address are not examined, so contact details are not optional — they are a condition for examination. The person responsible for public relations ensures receipt and registration, forwards for resolution, sends replies and, in the wording of the code, classifies and archives petitions.Keep: Unverified as a term. The Administrative Code places on the subdivision responsible for public relations the task of classifying and archiving petitions, but does not set a duration; the archiving regime is established by archival legislation and by the institution’s file nomenclature, which we have not verified. The term is set with the institution’s archivist and is written in the record of processing activities.SourceAdministrative Code No. 116/2018, art. 66 para. (1) lit. b), art. 75 para. (1) and art. 76 para. (1); Law No. 195/2024, art. 30 para. (1) lit. f)
- Register of requests for communication of information of public interest
- A separate record from the petitions register, explicitly required: public authorities, public institutions and state and municipal enterprises record requests in the register of requests for communication of information of public interest, according to the model and in the manner established by the Government. Verbal requests are not recorded, with one exception. The design consequence is that a single "incoming messages" table does not meet the requirement: the register has a prescribed model and must be producible as such.Keep: Unverified as a term. The template and the method of keeping the register are established by the Government; we have not verified the act approving them, so we do not propose a duration.SourceLaw no. 148/2023, art. 15 para. (1) and para. (5)
- Professional data of public officials
- Surname and given name, position, studies, professional experience, remuneration, conflicts of interest and unexpired disciplinary sanctions. They are personal data and, at the same time, data for which the law prohibits restricting access. This class is the one that breaks the usual intuition of data protection: here the obligation is not to hide them, but to publish them — data on the authority’s management, including studies, professional experience and the manner of appointment to office, are on the list of information published ex officio.Keep: On the official website, as long as the information is current: information published ex officio is updated within 5 working days from the date it becomes available, except for the exceptions laid down by normative acts.SourceLaw No. 148/2023, art. 8 para. (3) lit. a)–g), art. 10 para. (1) lit. b) and art. 11 para. (1)
- Content published ex officio
- Structure and budget, management, organisational regulations, annual report, planned and completed procurements, public events, foreign travel with cost and source of funding, office hours, programmes and projects, budget execution, recruitment competitions, decision-making process. This is not "marketing content": it is a category with an exhaustive list in the law, with a second list in the regulation on websites, and with a formal requirement — the published information and information made available to requesters must be provided in open format.Keep: It does not have a deletion term, it has an updating term: 5 working days from availability, and for public events — usually no later than one working day after the end of the event.SourceLaw no. 148/2023, art. 10 para. (1) lit. a)–p), para. (5) and art. 11 para. (1)–(2); Government Decision no. 728/2023, Regulation, item 15
- Web platform system log
- Who logged in, what they published, what they changed, what they deleted. Here the requirement is not inferred from principles, it is written out: the information content management system must ensure the ability to trace and record in system registers — logs — all actions undertaken by each user, plus the definition of user groups with different rights and a mono- or two-factor system for identifying content administrators. Separately, the information content administrator processes petitions and manages the traceability events related to the petition review process.Keep: Unverified as a term fixed by an act. The regulation requires the existence of logs, not the retention period. The term is established by the controller on justified grounds, under the principle of storage limitation, and is declared in the record of processing activities.SourceGovernment Decision No. 728/2023, Regulation, pt. 52 subpt. 4) and pt. 65 subpt. 5), 6) and 8); Law No. 195/2024, art. 5 para. (1) lit. e) and art. 30 para. (1) lit. f)
- Backups
- Database and programme component archive. The system administrator makes backups of the database, the technical-technological operator ensures restoration of data from backups on request, and the standard solution must ensure the method of making and storing backups. This class is routinely considered in deletion discussions: a backup that contains a petition deleted from the live database is still processing, with the same basis and the same access rights.Keep: Unverified as a term. The Regulation requires that the method of making and keeping backup copies be ensured by the standard solution, without setting a duration. It is established in the institution’s policy and declared.SourceGovernment Decision No. 728/2023, Regulation, pt. 49 subpt. 5), pt. 51 subpt. 5) and pt. 55; Law No. 195/2024, art. 32 para. (1) lit. b) and c)
- Data from social network profiles
- The comments, private messages and public identities of those who post on the institution’s page within a social network. The Regulation treats them as part of the same regime: it defines the administrator and the social profile user as distinct roles, and the informational content administrator manages the comments and messages received from users. The legal particularity is that the data sits on a third party’s infrastructure, outside the operator’s platform, and a question asked there may be, depending on its content, a petition.Keep: Unverified as a term. The Regulation does not set a duration for content in social media profiles, and the actual retention is determined by the third-party platform. It is treated as separate processing, with the legal basis and term declared in the record of activities.SourceGovernment Decision No. 728/2023, Regulation, pt. 2 (the definitions of “social media profile administrator” and “social media profile user”) and pt. 52 subpt. 5); Law No. 195/2024, art. 30 para. (1) lit. f)
