Belgium: IAB Europe submits action plan required by Belgian DPA decision on TCF
The Interactive Advertising Bureau Europe ('IAB Europe') announced, on 1 April 2022, that it had submitted the action plan required by the Belgian Data Protection Authority's ('Belgian DPA') decision on the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework ('TCF'). In particular, IAB Europe noted that the submission of the action plan marks a key milestone in the two-phase remediation period foreseen in the decision and should enable a version of the TCF, with a broader compliance functionality, to be rolled out over a six-month period under the supervision of the Belgian DPA.
In addition, IAB Europe stated that the action plan outlines how IAB Europe, in its capacity as the managing organisation of the TCF, will deliver on the formal orders laid down in the decision and reflects in-depth discussions amongst IAB Europe member companies that implement the TCF and convene in the existing TCF working groups and other instances, as well as the IAB Tech Lab. However, IAB Europe outlined that the submission of the action plan is without prejudice to IAB Europe's appeal of the decision to the Belgian Market Court. Lastly, IAB Europe stated that once the action plan has been reviewed and validated by the Belgian DPA and concerned supervisory authorities, IAB Europe will have six months to implement it.
