“Meet Team EDPS” is an initiative that introduces to the public the faces behind the EDPS: who they are, what they do, and why they are proudly working for the EDPS.
The EDPS works to uphold the fundamental rights to privacy and data protection at the highest standards.
As the independent EU data protection authority, we supervise the processing of personal data by EU institutions and promote a data protection culture in the EU institutions, using different tools and powers, detailed below.
As advisor to the EU legislator, we aim to serve as a centre of excellence to enforce and reinforce EU data protection and privacy standards, both in practice and in law.
We also cooperate with the other EU national data protection authorities and provide the secretariat of the European Data Protection Board (EDPB), which is in charge of ensuring an equally high level of application of the GDPR throughout the EEA.
We also monitor new technologies and their impact on privacy and provide opportunities to make a positive impact on the digital future of Europe.
To make this happen, there is a diverse group of professionals who work passionately to make their expertise available to uphold fundamental rights, working with firm dedication in a collaborative, vibrant, multicultural environment, all for the benefit of EU citizens.
