28th International Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners' Conference

The last week held in London, the annual Conference of Data Protection and Information Commissioners.

A communiqué was agreed by the Commissioners at the 28th International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners. The Commissioners have also adopted several important resolutions.

As technological advances increase the amount of surveillance the Commissioners have recognised the challenges facing data protection. They have identified the key areas where they will work together to overcome these issues and reinforce the fundamental importance of data protection and privacy. These include:


• Assessing the effectiveness of their traditional approaches, and adapting where necessary, to ensure they remain relevant in a fast changing world.

• Engaging with policy makers and citizens more effectively about privacy issues.

• Developing communications to raise awareness of individuals’ data protection rights.
