    Data protection rules protect privacy and prevent personal information from misuse. When the general data protection regulation (GDPR) came into force in 2018, it strengthened the role of data protection authorities. These supervisory bodies are the key enforcers of the fundamental right of protection of personal data. This report analyses the challenges they face in the GDPR implementation. The findings complement the European Commission's forthcoming evaluation of the GDPR.

    El rápido avance de las tecnologías de la información ha aumentado la necesidad de una protección sólida de los datos personales, y el derecho a dicha protección está garantizado por instrumentos de la Unión Europea (UE) y del Consejo de Europa (CdE). Salvaguardar este importante derecho implica nuevos e importantes retos, a medida que los avances tecnológicos amplían las fronteras de campos tales como la vigilancia, la intervención de las comunicaciones y la conservación de los datos.

    Debido a las crecientes amenazas que el terrorismo, los ciberataques y las sofisticadas redes delictivas transfronterizas plantean, la labor de los servicios de inteligencia tiene un carácter más urgente, complejo e internacional. Dicha labor puede interferir gravemente con los derechos fundamentales, en especial con la privacidad y la protección de datos. Aunque los avances tecnológicos continuos pueden agravar la amenaza de dicha injerencia, una supervisión y vías de recurso efectivos pueden poner freno a los posibles abusos.

    In 2006 the EU issued its Data Retention Directive. According to the Directive, EU Member States had to store electronic telecommunications data for at least six months and at most 24 months for investigating, detecting and prosecuting serious crime. In 2016, with an EU legal framework on data retention still lacking, the CJEU further clarified what safeguards are required for data retention to be lawful.This paper looks at amendments to national data retention laws in 2016 after the Digital Rights Ireland judgment.

    When a decision to stop an individual is motivated solely or mainly by virtue of a person's race, ethnicity or religion, this constitutes discriminatory ethnic profiling. Such practices can serve to alienate certain communities in the EU, and in turn can contribute to inefficient policing. The FRA guide aims to help the police address and avoid discriminatory ethnic profiling, and is designed to be used as a tool for more effective policing.

    The EU plays a pioneering role in the protection of personal data. The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU enshrines the right to data protection as an autonomous fundamental right. Despite the underlying importance and centrality of the right to data protection in the EU, many deficiencies are present in the data protection system. This study on data protection identifies deficiencies in the EU Member States.
