Privacy by Design

The EDPS Annual Report 2024 is about acting for the future of data protection, preparing for the diverse possibilities and risks that the digital landscape presents. 

Guided by our 2020 - 2024 strategy and its principles: Foresight, Action and Solidarity, the EDPS has: unveiled and taken steps to start executing its Strategy for AI,  monitored and analysed technologies, including AI- led technologies, advised EU-co legislator on upcoming EU regulations directly impacting people’s privacy and data protection, providing tools to EUIs to ensure their compliance with EU data protection laws, influence the development of data protection globally. 

The Fediverse consists of many independent, interoperable social media platforms that allow their users to interact with each other across those platforms. In the absence of vendor lock-in, users can choose a platform with terms and data location matching their preferences.

The year 2020 was unique for the world and, by extension, for the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS). Like many other organisations, the EDPS had to adapt its working methods as an employer, but also its work since the COVID-19 health crisis strengthened the call for the protection of individuals' privacy. 

This Annual Report provides an insight into all EDPS activities in 2020.
