# EDPB Guidelines – Exhaustive List

> **Source:** [edpb.europa.eu – Guidelines](https://www.edpb.europa.eu/our-work-tools/our-documents/publication-type/guidelines_en)
> **Last updated:** 2026-03-17
> **Scope:** All guidelines published under the EDPB "Guidelines" document category, including WP29-era guidelines formally endorsed by the EDPB on 25 May 2018. Only the latest version of each guideline is retained (obsolete first-draft consultation versions are collapsed into the final/latest version entry). Sorted by publication date of the latest version, most recent first.
> **Note on "/" in references:** Obsidian does not allow the "/" character in note titles; existing vault notes therefore use "-" as a substitute (e.g. "01-2022" instead of "01/2022").
