# Data Protection Officer (DPO)
Organisations may have one or more Data Protection Officers (DPOs) to ensure the application of the principles of personal data protection in the institution. Each keeps a register of all personal data processing operations in their institution. They provide advice and make recommendations on rights and obligations. They notify risky processing of personal data to a supervisor and respond to requests.
In critical situations, they may investigate matters and incidents (own initiative).
