How the EDPS conducts investigations

The EDPS may decide to start an investigation when we have a strong suspicion of an infringement of data protection rules by an EUI.

The aim of the investigation is to check whether an infringement of the applicable data protection rules, in particular the EUDPR, has occurred and to establish its circumstances.
