EDPB

Abbreviation for European Data Protection Board

In short and in plain language

The EDPB is a board for data protection in Europe.

In it, the data offices from the European Union work as a team.

It puts out guidelines. They help all to read the data rules in the same way. One of them shows how to swap names in data for codes.

Definition
The EDPB is the body in which the data protection authorities of the EU member states work together. It publishes guidelines for a consistent interpretation of the GDPR, for example on the pseudonymisation of personal data.
