With our involvement in this fourth Coordinated Enforcement Action, we walk the talk by continuously advocating for a coherent application of EU data protection law, and the consistent protection of individuals’ personal data, across the EU/EEA.
In this issue, has the European Commission organised a micro-targeting campaign on X? EDPS reprimands EPSO, and organises its first AI correspondents meeting, plus what is a privacy protector? And, as always, there is a lot more in this edition.
Every year on 28 January, we celebrate Data Protection Day. This date marks the anniversary of the Council of Europe’s Convention 108, the first binding international law securing individuals' rights to protection of their personal data.
