124th EDPB Plenary Meeting
Session focused on the use of so-called "smart glasses"—specifically the processing of personal data
Sanja Unković, Deputy Commissioner (acting Commissioner pending the election of a new Commissioner), and Milan Marinović, Advisor to the Commissioner, participated in the 124th plenary meeting of the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) in Brussels on October 13 and 14, 2026.
In addition to various current topics in the field of personal data protection, the session focused on the use of so-called “smart glasses”—specifically the processing of personal data through these devices and the resulting implications for personal data protection. In this context, an expert from France briefed the representatives of data protection authorities in attendance on the current state of the deployment and use of smart glasses. This included information on the global user base—which has grown to over 7,000,000—the technical capabilities of these devices, how they are used, and the specific data protection measures currently in place.
It was concluded that the European Data Protection Board will adopt formal positions regarding this matter.
