EDPB Annual Report 2020
Ensuring data protection rights in a changing worldThe European Data Protection Board (EDPB) presented its Annual Report 2020. The report provides a detailed overview of the work carried out by the EDPB in a year marked by the worldwide pandemic.
EDPB Chair, Andrea Jelinek said: "2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic significantly altered how we live and work. Given the increasing presence of data-driven technologies in addressing the pandemic, the awareness of data protection rights among individuals and organisations has never been more critical. It is important to note that the 2020 lockdowns in all our countries did not mean a slowdown of the EDPB’s activities. 2020 was marked by many major developments in the EU data protection legal sphere, requiring the EDPB’s expertise and guidance.”
