Are GDPR Guidelines Becoming Too Complex?

Last December the European Union’s Article 29 Data Protection Working Party issued draft guidance relating to two key aspects of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) addressing Consent and Transparency, both essential to the effective operation of the GDPR. The Working Party invited comments, and the Information Accountability Foundation (IAF) responded to both the Consent and Transparency drafts. In short, the IAF believes there are some significant challenges related to the Draft Guidance that may have the unintended impact of limiting the beneficial uses of data and potentially limiting the longer-term goals of providing data protection against the full rights and interests of individuals as the beneficial uses of data grow.
