At the end of May, the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO) launched the latest version of the “Judgments Portal”, where the full texts of the President of UODO’s decisions and orders are published. In addition to the portal’s existing features (an advanced search engine and access to the full text of documents), new elements have been introduced relating to the status and change history of the published judgments, as well as their links to legal acts and court rulings. The entire system runs on the NeuroLex platform, which is responsible for, among other things, algorithmically verifying the correctness and consistency of anonymization.
The portal is available at https://orzeczenia.uodo.gov.pl. To date, 520 decisions of the President of UODO issued between March 2019 and early May 2025 have been published. Users can conveniently search the judgments database using a full-text search engine that accounts for Polish inflection. The search engine also allows filtering results by metadata (date, status, keywords, etc.) and easily modifying queries by editing selected criteria.
In addition to documents provided in HTML and PDF formats, users have access to information on each document’s links to the database of legal acts (ISAP, EUR-Lex) and to the database of rulings of administrative courts and common courts. This enables them to immediately review the content of related documents – access is completely free.
The portal is part of Neurosoft’s NeuroDoc system, which was implemented at UODO at the end of last year. The primary goal of this system is to streamline the process of anonymizing and publishing documents created by the Personal Data Protection Office. The system incorporates several key technologies – anonimat, a mechanism for algorithmic anonymization of content, and lexlink, a mechanism for detecting document structure and references to legal acts and rulings.
Algorithmic support helps shorten document processing time and achieve a high level of processing quality and consistency (e.g., anonymization) by enforcing the use of identical rules across all documents. The entire process is based on the idea of “man in the loop”, in which the final decision is always made by an expert.
