Computers and Society 2025-11-04 v1

Abstract

This study, commissioned by the European Parliament's Policy Department for Citizens Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the LIBE Committee, appraises the European Commission's proposal for an ePrivacy Regulation. The study assesses whether the proposal would ensure that the right to the protection of personal data, the right to respect for private life and communications, and related rights enjoy a high standard of protection. The study also highlights the proposal's potential benefits and drawbacks more generally.
