Established in 2004, the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) plays an important role in protecting individuals’ personal data. As a result of the General Data Protection Regulation, this independent Supervisory Authority is responsible for monitoring and enforcing compliance with data protection law within EU institutions and bodies.

It serves as a critical safeguard to protect people’s privacy and provides much-needed enforcement when data protection laws are being violated.
