Privacy & Security

Privacy and security has become an important topic for citizens and business in Europe and around the world. DIGITALEUROPE's Privacy & Security group is focusing on three key areas: data protection, online advertising and network and information security (NIS).

Data protection: the group is actively engaged in developing common industry agreements on how to balance the opportunities and challenges to harmonisation to enable businesses to take a Europe-wide and global view of data protection compliance.

Online advertising: the group is contributing to discussions on the benefits and potential risks of monitoring consumer behaviour for commercial purposes, as well as the technologies used for such purposes.

NIS: the Privacy & Security group is contributing its expertise to initiatives and consultations lead by the Commission and the European Network Information Security Agency (ENISA).
