Annual Report 2025: protecting people in a changing digital world

The EDPS Annual Report 2025 looks back over a year when our work was characterised by the operationalisation of our expanding mandate, guided by our strategic principles: Foresight, Action and Solidarity.

This year’s highlights include:

• the expansion of the AI Unit and activities;
• a record 145 legislative consultations;
• increased scrutiny of international data transfers and large-scale IT systems in the EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies;
• analysis and foresight related to emerging technologies.

The digital future is here. We are guiding the EU administration through this transformation with expertise and an unwavering focus on your rights.
