The EDPB endorsed WP29 documents are available here.

As regards the other existing WP29 documents, they may remain relevant and helpful insofar as the EDPB has not adopted new documents on the topic and/or they are compatible with the GDPR. This amounts to a case-by-case assessment.

BDAR arba Bendruoju duomenų apsaugos reglamentu sukuriamas suderintas taisyklių rinkinys, taikomas visam asmens duomenų tvarkymui, kurį vykdo Europos ekonominėje erdvėje (EEE) įsteigtos organizacijos (viešosios ar privačios, nepriklausomai nuo jų dydžio) arba organizacijos, tvarkančios ES esančių asmenų duomenis. Pagrindinis BDAR tikslas – užtikrinti, kad asmens duomenims būtų taikoma vienoda aukšto lygio apsauga visoje EEE, taip didinant teisinį tikrumą tiek asmenims, tiek duomenis tvarkančioms organizacijoms, ir užtikrinti aukšto lygio fizinių asmenų apsaugą.

Reglamentas įsigaliojo 2016 m. gegužės 24 d. ir taikomas nuo 2018 m. gegužės 25 d.
