Europeiska data tillsynsmannen (EDPS) utreder nu Europaparlamentets användande av ett USA-baserat politiskt kampanj-företag för behandling av personuppgifter i samband med årets EU-val.
I pressmeddelandet noterar Wojciech Wiewiorowski, som nyligen tillrätt rollen som EDPS att “[t]he EU parliamentary elections came in the wake of a series of electoral controversies, both within the EU Member States and abroad, which centred on the the threat posed by online manipulation. Strong data protection rules are essential for democracy, especially in the digital age. They help to foster trust in our institutions and the democratic process, through promoting the responsible use of personal data and respect for individual rights“.
