EDPB annual report 2025: supporting stakeholders through guidance and dialogue

09 April 2026

The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has published its 2025 Annual Report. The report provides an overview of the EDPB work carried out in 2025 and reflects on important milestones, such as the adoption of the Helsinki Statement on Enhanced Clarity, Support, and Engagement.

“In 2025, we saw the data protection landscape change significantly. The rapid expansion of the EU’s digital regulatory framework has added complexity to the data protection ecosystem. To help organisations navigate this complexity and support compliance, the EDPB focused on enhancing legal certainty, making compliance more achievable in practice, and strengthening cooperation, both among Data Protection Authorities and with other regulators. 

We also prioritised meaningful dialogue with stakeholders to ensure our work reflected real-world needs.

Our achievements support economic growth while continuing to protect individuals’ fundamental rights to privacy and data protection,” said EDPB Chair, Anu Talus.
