New rules for found items: data protection and keys
The law changes regulations on found items, introducing new obligations for finders and local authorities. Its main goal is better protection of personal data and security – documents with data, keys, and access cards are to be destroyed, not stored. For citizens, this means, among other things, an obligation to hand over a found document with personal data to the starosta and faster procedures for low-value items.
Key points
A found document containing personal data must be handed over to the starosta, unless the document specifies another procedure.
Keys, access cards, and remote controls, if found and not collected by the owner, will be destroyed by the starosta.
Found cash up to 5% of the minimum wage can be kept without reporting to the starosta.
The starosta may refuse to accept items worth less than 5% of the minimum wage, unless it is an item of historical, scientific, or artistic value or a document with personal data.
New rules for finding weapons, ammunition, or explosives – the police must be notified.
An obligation to share data on found items in a data portal has been introduced, making it easier to recover them.
