Why is it necesary?
Data is sent and recieved constantly through many means (internet, mobile phones, etc.)‏
Some rights to privacy might not be respected.
The right to protection of personal data is a fundamental right in the European community and in every Member State.
Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) ensure that this right is respected.

4. Methodology of the EDPs
1.-The EDPS receives complaints from EU staff members as well as from other people who feel that their personal data have been mishandled
2.-If a complaint is admissible, the EDPS carries out an inquiry.
3.-The findings are communicated to the complainant, and necessary measures are adopted.
