Ensuring consumer data protection through Blockchain and DLT Standardisation
Consumer privacy entails the handling and protection of the sensitive personal information provided by individuals in the course of everyday transactions. With the increase of digital interactions between individuals, businesses, and public authorities, it is crucial to foster trustworthiness in online services.
The digital single market strategy in Europe emphasizes the importance of ensuring safe handling of European citizens’ data, so that Europe’s economy, industry, and society can take full advantage of the new digital era. Several regulations in the European Union are established and coming into force to provide a strong layer of protection, namely eIDAS, European Digital Identity, GDPR, Digital Product Passport, Data Act, Artificial Intelligence Act and - more related to Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) - MiCA, which will streamline the adoption of these technologies as part of virtual asset regulation in the EU, while protecting users and investors.
