5 years of GDPR: 4th edition of the GDPR Enforcement Tracker Report is now available

A warm welcome... ...to the fourth edition of the GDPR Enforcement Tracker Report – the anniversary edition celebrating five years of GDPR.In the five years since the GDPR became applicable its powerful framework for imposing fines has certainly helped to raise awareness and encourage compliance efforts – just as the European legislator intended. At the same time, the risk of fines of up to EUR 20 million or 4% of a company’s global annual turnover can also lead to fear and reluctance or ignorance about compliance issues.We still believe that facts are better than fear.This is why we continuously update our list of publicly known fines in the GDPR  En­force­ment Tracker and started the GDPR Enforcement Tracker Report as an annual deep dive approach to provide you with more insights into the world of GDPR fines.As in the three previous editions, the GDPR Enforcement Tracker Report starts with the Executive Summary (also available as a PDF version), followed by the “Numbers and Figures” section and the “En­force­ment Insights per business sector” (also including the overarching employment category. The “En­force­ment Insights per country” provide background on the specific enforcement framework under national law. Some remarks on our methodology can be found at the very end of the report.
