Summary/Abstract: This study aims to present the new informations brought by the two EU Regulations, namely the Digital Markets Act and the Digital Service Act, in terms of the right to privacy. Regulation (EU) 2022/1925 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 September 2022 on contestable and fair markets in the digital sector and amending Directives (EU) 2019/1937 and (EU) 2020/1828 (Digital Markets Act) was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 12.10.2022, will enter into force on 1st of November 2022 and will become applicable, for the most part, in May 2023. Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19th October 2022 on a Single Market For Digital Services and amending Directive 2000/31/EC (Digital Services Act) – „DSA” was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on October 19, 2022. The Regulations enter into force on November 16, 2022 and apply from February 17, 2024. The deadline to comply with the obligations, granted to the affected service providers, namely very large online platforms and very large online search engines, will be four months from the notification by the EU Commission if that date is before 17 February 2024.Do the two regulations impose new rules for respecting the right to private life/ privacy as defined by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union? The DSA regulates the obligations of digital services that act as intermediaries when fulfilling their role of connecting consumers with goods, services and content. It targets, among other things, online markets. It aims to improve the protection of users and their fundamental rights online, establish a robust framework for transparency and accountability of online platforms and provide a single and uniform framework across the EU.
