The European Commission has published a Digital Omnibus proposal that would narrow the definition of personal data, restrict the Right of Access and allow broader AI training. A survey by noyb shows data protection officers consider the Right of Access low‑burden but valuable, and they favor clearer thresholds and whitelist/blacklist lists over flexible risk‑based rules. The feedback highlights a gap between the Commission's simplification aims and the practical needs of privacy professionals.
Why it matters: The proposal could weaken EU data‑subject rights while increasing legal uncertainty for businesses, making its impact significant for privacy compliance.
