noyb reports low GDPR enforcement rates on Data Protection Day

noyb disclosed that only 15% of its 51 GDPR complaints were decided within a year and no pan‑European case has been resolved under the one‑stop‑shop mechanism. The organization highlights delays across DPAs, including a three‑year‑plus wait on a forced‑consent case in Ireland, and calls for stronger enforcement.

Why it matters: The analysis underscores systemic enforcement gaps in the GDPR, signalling risk that privacy rights remain largely unenforced across the EU.
