noyb qualified as EU 'Qualified Entity' to bring collective GDPR redress actions

noyb has been approved as a Qualified Entity under Directive (EU) 2020/1828, allowing it to bring collective injunctions and redress actions across the EU. Approvals were issued by Austria's Bundeskartellamt on 2 December 2024 and Ireland's Ministry for Justice on 10 October 2024. The organization plans to file its first cases in 2025.

Why it matters: The new QE status enables a non‑profit to enforce GDPR rights collectively across the EU, potentially changing data‑protection enforcement.
