The ePrivacy Regulation is an upcoming EU regulation concerning data protection of electronic communications within the European Union.

Its full name is “Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the respect for private life and the protection of personal data in electronic communications and repealing Directive 2002/58/EC (Regulation on Privacy and Electronic Communications).”

The law would invalidate the Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive 2002 (ePrivacy Directive) and would constitute complementary legislation to the General Data Protection Regulation GDPR ). The exact scope of the ePrivacy still hasn’t been agreed on.
