The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has weighed in on the ePrivacy Regulation:
- EU legislators should intensify efforts towards the adoption of an ePrivacy Regulation, which is necessary to complete the EU’s framework for data protection and confidentiality of communications.
- The ePrivacy Regulation must under no circumstances lower the level of protection offered by the current ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC and must complement the GDPR by providing additional strong guarantees for all types of electronic communications.
- The ePrivacy Regulation is necessary to ensure a level playing field and legal certainty for market operators.
