The data protection authorities are the natural interlocutors and first point of contact for the general public, businesses and public administrations for questions regarding the Regulation. The data protection authorities' role includes informing controllers and processors of their obligations and raising the general public’s awareness and understanding of the risks, rules, safeguards and rights in relation to data processing.
