The PDF you download is in Bulgarian — that is the language it has to be filed in, so it is not translated. Everything on this page is here to tell you what it says.

The step to take when a controller has not answered your request or has refused it without good reason. The order is the same as in consumer disputes: first a request to the organisation, then a complaint to the commission with a copy of the correspondence attached. A complaint with no prior request is usually sent back, because there is no refusal to examine.

Common questions

Can I complain without having written to the organisation?
As a rule no. The commission examines a case where a request has been made and refused or ignored. A complaint with no prior request is usually sent back, because there is no conduct to examine.
What can the complaint achieve?
An inspection, binding directions, and a penalty for the controller. Compensation for loss suffered is pursued separately, through the courts — the commission exercises supervision rather than awarding sums.
What should I attach to the complaint?
A copy of your request, proof that it was made, and the answer if there was one. Without those three the complaint describes a problem but does not show that the organisation had a chance to solve it.
Is there a time limit for filing?
Yes — a complaint is filed within a period from learning of the breach, and for older matters there is a long-stop as well. Do not delay: an expired time limit is a ground in itself for no file to be opened.
