After our first
Q&As on the reformed Italian Data Protection Code (DPC),
here is a brand new FAQ list answering some of the most common
questions received from clients and colleagues on the draft
ePrivacy Regulation and its relationship with GDPR, Italian Data
Protection Law and the Italian Data Protection Authority's (the
Garante) guidance on ePrivacy issues.
1. What is the ePrivacy Regulation?
The ePrivacy Regulation is a new piece of legislation (not yet
in force, nor applicable) complementary to the GDPR which will
repeal and replace Directive 2002/58/EC (so-called ePrivacy
Directive), introducing a more homogeneous and harmonized
European discipline concerning the processing of personal data in
electronic communications.
