The paper analyses the potential of group actions as an instrument for data protection law enforcement in Europe. The first part investigates whether article 80 GDPR may provide a legal base for aggregate litigation in data protection law. It follows by examining the relationship between the European Directive 2020/1828 and the GDPR, and evaluates the potential of the new European representative action to enforce data protection rights and deter Big Tech’s cross-border unfair practices. Lastly, it outlines a private enforcement framework to ensure data protection and consumer rights in Europe, one that is able to balance the freedom of data, market needs and the protection of individuals.

Abstract
The paper analyses the potential of group actions as an instrument for data protection law enforcement in Europe. The first part investigates whether article 80 GDPR may provide a legal base for aggregate litigation in data protection law. It follows by examining the relationship between the European Directive 2020/1828 and the GDPR, and evaluates the potential of the new European representative action to enforce data protection rights and deter Big Tech’s cross-border unfair practices. Lastly, it outlines a private enforcement framework to ensure data protection and consumer rights in Europe, one that is able to balance the freedom of data, market needs and the protection of individuals.
