EDPB clarifies data processing for scientific research
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has brought clarity to data processing for scientific research and has approved the first European data protection seal as a tool for data transfers. Additionally, the EDPB is speeding up the finalisation of anonymisation guidelines. These measures aim to foster innovation in scientific research while ensuring robust protection of personal data in line with GDPR principles, offering greater certainty for researchers and data controllers.
New EDPB guidance streamlines data processing for research, protecting privacy and aiding innovation.
