About us
The EDPS is the European Union’s independent data protection authority. We monitor and ensure the protection of personal data and privacy when EU institutions and bodies process the personal information of individuals. We advise EU institutions and bodies on all matters relating to the processing of personal information. We are consulted by the EU legislator on proposals for legislation and new policy development. We also cooperate with national supervisory authorities and other supervisory bodies to improve consistency in protecting personal information. In our supervisory role, we monitor and ensure that the EU institutions comply with data protection rules. Disclaimer: The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS), together with the other European data protection authorities cooperating in the European Data Protection Board, is working to ensure that social networks respect the highest standards of data protection. The EDPS recommends users of social networks to be particularly careful about how they disclose their personal information and about how it may be used by third parties and the social networks themselves. The presence of the EDPS in LinkedIn does not mean that we endorse or in any way agree with the privacy policy or practices of this professional social network. More info: https://europa.eu/!HP66qc

*** #TechDispatch - Neurodata *** The brain and spinal cord form the central nervous system is crucial for regulating bodily functions and cognitive capabilities. Over the years, various techniques have emerged to interpret and interact with brain functions. From brain imaging and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for migraines, to Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s and Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) to restore sight and hearing, neurotechnologies have revolutionised medical treatment. However, there's an alarming trend of ethically and legally questionable uses of these technologies. Neuromarketing, portable neurotech devices for daily activities, and AI systems exploiting neurodata pose significant risks to fundamental rights. Find out why in our brand new edition of TechDispatch. This edition has been published in cooperation with Agencia Española de Protección de Datos - AEPD. Available in EN and ES.
