Directive 2002/58/EC on Privacy and Electronic Communications, known more prominently as the ePrivacy Directive, is a key set of instructions released to ensure the privacy and confidentiality of all electronic communications within the European Union (EU). It applies to the processing of personal data in connection with the provision of publicly available electronic communication networks.

The GDPR, passed in 2018, complements the Directive and must be read together to ensure the protection of personal data of data subjects in the EU. Together with the e-Privacy Directive and the GDPR, the European Union offers the most comprehensive and strongest data protection legal frameworks currently in the world.

The e-Privacy Directive is expected to be replaced by the e-Privacy Regulation which is currently in its draft stage. The e-Privacy Regulation will cover electronic communications content and associated metadata transmitted using publicly available services and networks as well as cover machine-to-machine and Internet of Things services. It will widen the territorial scope of the Directive by also including within its scope data controllers that are not established in the EEA but are established in a place where member state law applies by virtue of public international law.
