Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is a comparative analysis of the obligations of bank employees in the protection of information contained in ethical codes on the background of the EU regulations on the protection of personal data and the Polish Act on the protection of personal data implementing GDPR to the Polish law system. This analysis is aimed at finding the answer to the question whether and to what extent the entry into force of the GDP has affected the obligations of bank employees and whether the code of ethics as a source of obligations for bank employees is in fact complementary to the applicable national and European legislation on personal data protection. The author analyzes the regulations included in the Code of Banking Ethics of 2013, as well as the draft of a new Code of good practice from 2018 currently being developed by the Polish Bank Association (at the social consultations stage) – this analysis is preceded by a commentary on EU regulations concerning both procedures for creating such codes, resulting directly from the provisions of the RODO. The result of the analyses made by the author is an attempt to assess whether there is a real need to create sectoral codes of good practice in this area.
