International: Annual DPA activity reports

In today's data-driven world, the protection of personal data has become a critical issue for individuals, businesses, and governments alike. As a result, numerous countries have introduced comprehensive privacy laws which establish data protection authorities ('DPAs') tasked with regulating and enforcing the law's provisions.

Since the entry into effect of the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) ('GDPR') in 2018, DPAs in EU Member States have been required to publicly report their activities on an annual basis, and many other DPAs globally also do the same in a bid to remain both transparent and accountable.

The annual reports provide insight into topical privacy issues, including the types of privacy violations that have occurred and the enforcement actions being taken to address them. As such, the reports can be used by organisations to gain a better understanding of the specific risks they face and take steps to mitigate them.

Below you can find links to the annual reports available, where possible, for the countries listed.
