EU Data Protection Authorities

Been among the most advanced groups of countries, the EU has been leading the contest for privacy, with all the EU Data Protection Authorities aiding to execute it.

The number one EU Data Protection Directive was introduced in 1995, and it has been working pretty well since. However, this is about to be changed by the General Data Protection Regulation in early 2018, as the internet has really evolved so much over the last 20 years.

If you would love to read more about the EU data protection laws, you can actually read the official handbook by following this link. And possibly, if you’d like to get in contact with your local EU Data Protection Authority, you can do so using the contact details below.
