Following its Helsinki Statement on enhanced clarity, support and engagement, in order to facilitate GDPR compliance, the EDPB intends to develop a series of ready-to-use templates for organisations.
The EDPB is organising this public consultation to collect your ideas on the matter. More specifically, we would like to understand which templates you consider would be most useful for organisations (e.g. template privacy notice, template record of processing activities, etc.).
For your information, the EDPB will already work on creating a template for data protection impact assessment (DPIA) and for data breach notifications.
We invite you to provide your ideas and inputs by completing the public consultation below by 3 December 2025, either by filling in the blank field or by uploading a document.
In case you would like to upload your contribution as a document, we kindly ask you to provide a text of maximum 2500 characters (1 page document). By clicking “Provide your feedback”, you will be redirected to EU Survey where you can submit your contribution.
We thank you for taking the time to contribute to this project and we are looking forward to your inputs!
