GDPR supports biomedical research, says Spanish data watchdog

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) supports the development of biomedical research, Spain’s data protection authority has said.

In a new report, La Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD) said the existing regulatory framework in force in Spain relating to the processing of data for biomedical research purposes would not need to be altered because of the introduction of the GDPR, which will apply from 25 May.
