Free Legal Aid

If you are looking for legal assistance, you can use the free legal aid system. Free legal aid points operate across districts (powiats), where you can obtain information about your rights and obligations, ways to resolve a problem, and help in preparing legal letters.

Free legal aid is also frequently offered by specialized non-governmental organizations. It is worth checking what is available in your local area.

In cases concerning discrimination, you can also contact the Commissioner for Human Rights, who may take up the case or indicate possible courses of action.

In situations involving the unlawful use or collection of an employee’s personal data, the competent authority is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (PUODO). Before referring a matter to this authority, however, it is advisable to contact the employer’s Data Protection Officer (DPO). These cases primarily concern personal data breaches, improper data processing, unlawful monitoring, and the collection of excessive biometric data.
