Coordinated Enforcement Action: the right of access to personal data

Summary:

The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has launched a coordinated enforcement action to ensure that EU institutions, bodies, offices, and agencies (EUIs) comply with the right of access to personal data. The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) is participating in this action, focusing on EUIs' compliance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. The EDPS will review complaints made by individuals regarding their right of access and analyze how EUIs comply with this right in practice. The goal is to identify best and worst practices, areas for improvement, and decide on possible follow-up supervision and enforcement actions. The results will be published in a report once the action is concluded. This is part of the EDPB's Coordinated Enforcement Framework, which aims to streamline enforcement and cooperation amongst Data Protection Authorities.
