Supporting GDPR consistency: EDPB launches dedicated form

EDPB · · EU · Enforcement

The European Data Protection Board has introduced a dedicated online form allowing stakeholders to flag discrepancies in how GDPR is interpreted or enforced across EU member states, including gaps between national supervisory authorities and EDPB positions. The initiative stems from commitments made in the EDPB's Helsinki Statement on clarity and engagement.

Why this matters: Uneven GDPR enforcement across jurisdictions can leave individuals with inconsistent privacy protections depending on where they live or where a company is headquartered. Greater interpretive consistency strengthens the regulation's practical force as a safeguard for personal data rights.
