In accordance with Article 51 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), each Member State of the European Union is required to establish an independent Supervisory Authority. These entities play a crucial role in ensuring GDPR compliance by overseeing the processing of personal data and safeguarding the fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens in this regard.
If you reside outside the European Union, there are also supervisory authorities in several countries that have implemented legal frameworks similar to the GDPR to protect their citizens’ personal data. Below, we provide a complete list of Supervisory Authorities in the EU countries and other regions of the world.
