The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has announced its coordinated enforcement action for 2026, which will focus on transparency and information obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This initiative aims to ensure consistent application of GDPR requirements related to how organizations inform individuals about data processing activities.

Regulated entities, particularly those operating within the EU, should prepare for potential scrutiny regarding their privacy policies, consent mechanisms, and data processing notices. While specific details are pending, organizations should proactively review and update their transparency documentation and practices to align with GDPR standards. The Austrian Data Protection Authority has confirmed its participation in this coordinated measure.
