The European Data Protection Board also shared a recap, providing useful insights on how many complaints, data breaches and cases were received and processed by Supervisory Authorities.

One Year GDPR: tacking stock
The European Data Protection Board also shared insights in activities regarding GDPR enforcement: Over 144.000 queries and complaints and over 89.000 data breaches have been logged by the EEA Supervisory Authorities. Around two-thirds (63%) of these have been closed. Andrea Jelinek, Chair of the EDPB, summarizes "a challenging first year, but we have reached the goals that we set out to achieve".
