The European Data Protection Supervisor (“EDPS”) presented its 2020-2024 Strategy 'Shaping a Safer Digital Future: a new Strategy for a new decade' to the public on 30.06.2020.

Accordingly, there are three pillars that the Strategy focuses on; Foresight, Action and Solidarity.

Wojciech Wiewiórowski, EDPS, mentions about these pillars briefly as follows;

  • Foresight:

The EDPS will continue to monitor legal, social and technological advances around the world and engage with experts, specialists and data protection authorities to inform its work.

  • Action:

To strengthen the EDPS’ supervision, enforcement and advisory roles the EDPS will promote coherence in the activities of enforcement bodies in the EU and develop tools to assist the EU institutions, bodies and agencies to maintain the highest standards in data protection.

  • Solidarity:

While promoting digital justice and privacy for all, the EDPS will also enforce responsible and sustainable data processing, to positively impact individuals and maximise societal benefits in a just and fair way.

The EDPS also notes that the EDPS will collaborate with the European institutions and bodies and called for action to ensure a safer digital future.
