| Abstract: | In light of digitalisation, we are witnessing an increased volume of collected data and
data generation and exchange acceleration. Therefore, the European Union (EU) has introduced the
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as a new framework for data protection on the European
level. However, GDPR allows the member states to change some parts of the regulation, and the
member states can always build on top of the GDPR. An example is the collection of biometric data
with electronic signatures. This paper aims to compare the legislation on data protection topics in the
various EU member states. The findings show that the member states included in the study generally
do not have many additional/specific laws (only in 29.4% of the cases). However, almost all have
other/additional legislation to the GDPR on at least one topic. The most additional legislation is on
the topics of video surveillance, biometry, genetic data and health data. We also introduce a dynamic
map that allows for quick navigating between different information categories and comparisons of
the EU member states at a glance. |
