The intersection of cutting-edge blockchain technology and fundamental data privacy rights is a continuously evolving landscape. For businesses operating in the EU, understanding and complying with regulatory frameworks surrounding blockchain data presents a significant challenge. The European Data Protection Board (EDPB), an independent body responsible for enforcing GDPR across the EU and EEA, has recently released draft guidelines addressing these complexities. These guidelines are specifically focused on personal data usage within blockchain networks. The EDPB’s approach is proactive and seeks to provide clarity and guidance while ensuring that innovation does not compromise privacy rights.
