Joint Guidance on GDPR-DMA Interplay

Joint EDPB–European Commission contribution to the public consultation on the Draft Commission Delegated Regulation supplementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1925 with regard to the regulatory reporting template and methodological guidance

This joint guidance outlines how the GDPR and Digital Markets Act (DMA) should be applied in a complementary and coherent manner, particularly in the context of the DMA’s Draft Delegated Regulation on regulatory reporting templates. It provides methodological guidance to ensure that regulatory obligations under both instruments are aligned, especially in the areas of data protection, user consent, and platform gatekeeper accountability. The contribution stresses that compliance with one regulation does not automatically ensure compliance with the other.
