European Union Data Protection Law

European Union Data Protection Law is an incomparable volume, which not only provides a comprehensive presentation of the EU data protection legal framework but also guides the expeditious application of relevant requirements of EU data protection law in any specific matter, in a lucid and easy-to-use question-and-answer format. Through theoretical questions and practical scenarios, it offers an extensive and detailed explanation of how the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) works in practice and how it interacts with other EU laws, including the ePrivacy Directive and the Artificial Intelligence Act.

Throughout its question-and-answer guidance, the book incorporates the precise application of such underlying data protection mechanisms as the following:
- data protection principles;
- legal bases for personal data processing;
- consent to data processing;
- data subjects’ rights;
- material and territorial scope of the GDPR;
- the principle of ‘data protection by design and by default’;
- international transfers;
- position of data protection officers (DPOs); and
- supervision and enforcement.

The presentation is underlaid with a wide selection of case law from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on data protection matters, as well as guidance from the European Data Protection Board, and relevant decisions issued by supervisory authorities.

With its targeted practical guidance and its detailed explication of CJEU interpretations of the GDPR over the decade the regulation has been in force, this highly practical volume will be welcomed by legal practitioners and advisors, in-house counsel at companies falling within the scope of the GDPR, and the academic community studying data protection law.
