12/GIUR-01 - Private Law

Description

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was born with an ambivalent nature: its objective is indeed the protection of the individual, but also the affirmation of the perimeter within which the circulation of data is permitted. With the stratification of data law (namely the Data Act, the Data Governance Act, the DMA, the DSA, and the EHDS), that circulation ceases to be merely a freedom and becomes a primary necessity for the single market. As a result, operators are required, on various grounds, to share and make data accessible within the Union. In this new context, the GDPR shifts function and amounts to a "constitutional" and transversal safeguard, in the sense that those operating in the digital market must comply with the new data regulations, but always within the bounds of lawfulness that the Regulation continues to police.
