Summary/Abstract: The issue of professional secret is connected with the exercise of certain profession and those that exercise these professions have the obligation to keep the professional secret. Chapter IX of GDPR regulates specific processing activities and, among others, creates the frame-work in which every member state of the EU can regulate those situations when the protection of personal data clashes with the professional secret obligation. We try to identify, in our study, to what degree professional secrecy can be invoked in the hypothesis of an investigation carried out by the national authority in the field of protection of personal data. Furthermore, we shall try to propose certain good practices for those professions that have this obligation of professional secrecy, in relation to the GDPR.
