The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was adopted in 2016 and became applicable on 25 May 2018.
It is the European Union’s key piece of legislation to protect the right to personal data protection. It is regarded as the most successful piece of legislation on this topic internationally, with many states using the GDPR as a basis for creating their own data protection legislation. The European Commission invited all stakeholders (public bodies, private companies, government agencies, civil society organisations, citizens, etc.) to provide feedback on the implementation of the GDPR over the years.
The comments will be used by the European Commission to prepare a report with the aim of evaluating the implementation of the GDPR and its possible improvement. This report is expected to be published in mid-2024. Homo Digitalis was actively involved in providing comments. You can read a compilation of Homo Digitalis’ comments here.
Many thanks to our members Christos Zanganas, Avgi Saoulidou, Danae Skevi and Konstantinos Kakavoulis for their participation in this process!
