What is the Catalog Project by EADPP?
This is a non-commercial educational project. The Catalog Project consists of two components:
- The Catalog of data protection technology solutions: It aims to provide essential information and resources to promote General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance and facilitate privacy-preserved data sharing. This pioneering initiative seeks to serve various parties, including Data Protection Officers (DPOs), data protection experts, and internal stakeholders from companies investing in privacy automation solutions.
- Knowledge Sharing Portal: Alongside the Catalog, the project encompasses the development of a dedicated knowledge sharing portal. It will provide opportunities for Catalog participants to present how their solutions effectively tackle issues related to data protection, while enabling end-users and buyers to express their experiences and concerns. Stay updated on the launch of the EADPP InsightZ.io knowledge sharing portal by following the EADPP LinkedIn page.
What is the cost of participating in the Catalog project for technology solution providers?
Participating vendors enjoy free inclusion in the Catalog, provided they invest time in sharing their knowledge and experiences with the data protection community. This way by joining the Catalog project, companies can not only gain visibility, but also contribute to the knowledge-sharing ecosystem, and play a vital role in advancing GDPR compliance and data privacy best practices.
What are the requirements to be included in the Catalog Project?
Major requirements are:
- The age of the company is at least 2 years
- The solution must be built on the principles of GDPR
- The solution provider must be committed to take part in building together with EADPP the knowledge sharing portal
Is the Catalog only for companies in the European Economic Area?
The next issue of the Catalog will include companies from countries with adequacy decisions, such as the UK, Switzerland, etc. Also, EADPP has plans to introduce a new International Section in the future editions of the Catalog to be able to present privacy technology solutions around the world.
To be included in the European section of the Catalog, vendors must answer the following criteria:
- European company - founded in the EEA and predominantly doing business in Europe
- If the company has a parent or holding company, this company is also based in the European Economic Area
What is the Catalog structure?
The Catalog showcases the chosen companies by brief descriptions of their solutions. The organization of the Catalog is determined by categorizing the tools according to the specific aspects of data protection they address, and the user pain points they aim to resolve.
How can my company apply to be included in the Catalog?

Do we need to become EADPP members to participate in the Catalog Project or to access the Catalog?
No. First, EADPP membership is for individuals only. Secondly, access to participation and the Catalog itself is open to everyone and free of charge.

In conclusion, what are the key highlights of the Catalog project?
- Comprehensive Solutions Database: The Catalog showcases a diverse range of technology solutions that address the ever-evolving needs of organizations in protecting personal data and complying with GDPR
- Regular Updates: EADPP is committed to ensuring the Catalog remains current and relevant. Regular updates are planned, with the next edition scheduled for release in autumn this year
- Global Participation: While the focus is on European providers of GDPR-ready tools, the Catalog encourages the participation of privacy-preserved solutions from around the world. This inclusive approach allows to promote collaboration and the exchange of global expertise in data protection.
- Knowledge-sharing portal (to be launched in September)
Together, let us build a stronger foundation for data protection, GDPR compliance, and privacy-preserved data sharing in Europe and beyond.
