Welcome to the recording of our insightful lunchtime event co-organized by the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) and the Brussels Privacy Hub. This event, titled "Putting a Price on Your Invaluable Private Life? Personal Data and the Values Behind," delved into the multifaceted value of personal data in our digital world.

During this engaging discussion, experts from various fields explored the significance of personal data, the economic benefits it generates, and the often-overlooked rights of individuals. As data subjects frequently lack awareness of the true worth of their shared information, this event aimed to illuminate how a clearer understanding of data value could reinforce personal protection.

Key topics discussed included:
- The concept of value in relation to personal data
- The implications of commodifying personal data
- Balancing economic interests with fundamental rights
