Poland has not adopted national legislation based on or influenced by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law on Electronic Commerce.

The EU Directive on Audiovisual Media Services (AVMS) covers traditional broadcasting services as well as audiovisual media services provided on-demand, including via the Internet. Art. 13.1 provides for Member States to secure a minimum 30% share of European works in the catalogues as well as "ensuring prominence" of those works. "Prominence" involves promoting European works by facilitating access to such works using any appropriate means to ensure their prominence. The Directive has been implemented by Member States in different ways, ranging from very extensive and detailed measures to a mere reference to the general obligation to promote European works.
In Poland, the EU Directive was transposed into domestic law through the amendment of the Broadcasting Act of August 2021 (Act of 11 August 2021 amending the Broadcasting Act and the Cinematography Act). According to Art. 47f of the Act, on-demand audiovisual media service providers must reserve at least 30% of their catalogue for European programmes, including those originally produced in Polish, and ensure they are appropriately visible in their catalogues. This percentage is calculated based on the total number of programmes available in the catalogue for each quarter, with a single season of a series counted as one programme.
Additionally, under Art. 19.6 of the Act of 30 June 2005 on Cinematography (as amended by Act of 11 August 2021 amending the Broadcasting Act and the Cinematography Act), on-demand audiovisual media service providers must pay the Polish Film Institute 1.5% of their revenue from either access fees or income from commercial communications, whichever is higher. For providers based in other EU Member States, the payment is based on revenue earned in Poland. This obligation excludes micro-entrepreneurs and providers with a user base below 1% of broadband subscribers in the previous year. Digital platform operators are also subject to a 1.5% levy on fees for access to broadcasted or rebroadcasted television channels.

According to the Polish Committee for Standardisation (Polski Komitet Normalizacyjny – PKN), to become a member of a Technical Committee (KT), Project Committee (KZ), or Technical Subcommittee (PK), an entity must (i) meet the requirements set forth in Article 23.2 of the Standardisation Act of September 2002; (ii) operate and be registered in the Republic of Poland; and (iii) possess expertise in the thematic scope of the KT, KZ, or PK they wish to join. Membership in these committees is voluntary and free of charge. As specified in Art. 23.2 of the Standardisation Act, a technical committee is composed of specialists appointed by government administration bodies, economic entities, employers' associations, consumer organisations, professional and scientific-technical organisations, higher education institutions, scientific organisations, and PKN employees. The composition must ensure the representativeness of all stakeholders in a given subject, considering the needs of the national economy.

It is reported that the government fully owns NASK (Naukowa i Akademicka Sieć Komputerowa), a Polish institution dedicated to developing and maintaining the country’s scientific and academic network infrastructure. NASK’s primary role is to provide secure and advanced network services, such as internet connectivity, high-speed networks, and cybersecurity, to research institutions, universities, and other educational organisations. It also manages domain registration and web hosting services, supporting the Polish academic and scientific community's technological needs.

It is reported that Poland does not mandate functional separation for operators with significant market power (SMP) in the telecom market. However, accounting separation is required by law.

It is reported that the Office of Electronic Communications (UKE), the executive authority for the supervision and administration of services in the telecommunications sector, is independent from the government in the decision-making process.

Under Arts. 180a-180c of the Telecommunications Act, telecommunications providers are required to store certain types of user data for 12 months, including user identity, date and time and the type of connection, in the territory of Poland.

Under the Act on Gambling Games, Art. 15.d, online gambling providers have to store data related to gambling activities and transactions within the EU or the European Economic Area and provide permanent remote access to tax authorities.

The European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides a comprehensive framework for data protection that applies to all EU Member States. Poland implemented the GDPR in 2018 through the Act of 10 May 2018 on the Protection of Personal Data.

Under the EU Directive on Data Retention, operators were required to retain certain categories of traffic and location data (excluding the content of those communications) for a period between six months and two years and to make them available, on request, to law enforcement authorities for the purposes of investigating, detecting and prosecuting serious crime and terrorism. On 8 April 2014, the Court of Justice of the European Union declared the Directive invalid. However, not all national laws that implemented the Directive have been overturned.
Under Art. 180a-180c of the Telecommunications Act, telecommunications providers are obliged to store certain types of user data for 12 months, including user identity, date and time and the type of connection.

Under Art. 180d-180e of the Telecommunications Act, telecommunications providers must grant access to stored data to "authorised entities" including police and secret services without a court order.

The Directive 2000/31/EC (E-Commerce Directive) is the legal basis governing the liability of Internet Services Providers (ISPs) in the EU Member States and includes a conditional safe harbour. Not all Member States have transposed the relevant articles consistently, leading to divergent national case law that could cause legal insecurity on an EU level.
The Civil Code and the E-Services Act transpose Directive 2000/31/EC. Although there is no dedicated framework on intermediary liability in Poland, the relevant provisions of Polish tort law, notably Art. 422 of the Civil Code, are interpreted in a way that shields service providers from liability for user content and behaviour.

It is reported that Poland imposes an identity requirement for SIM registration, by the 2016 Polish Antiterrorism Act. Anyone wanting to purchase a SIM card has to provide their national ID card or a passport in case of foreigners to activate a new prepaid SIM card. The 2016 Polish Antiterrorism Act has been contentious due to its provisions conflicting with both the Polish Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights. However, the text of the law is not available online.

Art. 85 of the Utilities Directive (2014/25/EU) contains provisions allowing contracting public entities to reject foreign goods not covered by any EU international commitments from its tender procedures. In these cases, a tender submitted for the award of a supply contract may be rejected where the proportion of the products originating in third countries exceeds 50% of the total value of the products constituting the tender (Art. 85.2). Additionally, in cases of equivalent offers, the provisions provide for a preference for European tenders and tenders covered by EU's international obligations. In practice, this possibility has rarely been used.
In Poland, the Directive has been transposed with the publication of the consolidated text of the Act - Public Procurement Law.
