# Key Resources

The DSA, which amends the e-Commerce Directive (2000/31/EC) will govern the responsibilities of digital platforms. Following the example set by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), it will also apply to platforms established outside the EU in case they target European consumers.

The EDAA’s consumer-facing programme is pan-European and industry-wide, backed by credible compliance and enforcement mechanisms. Its evolution is driven by consumer research and has gained widespread uptake in the market. The EDAA is well positioned to complement the objectives of the DSA.

Your Online Voices: Your Voice, Your Choice is the largest Consumer Conversation of its kind and shows the perceptions and expectations of consumers in relation to data-driven advertising. The findings will contribute to the upcoming developments of the EDAA Self-Regulatory programme.

# About us

### The European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA) manages the European self-regulatory programme for Data-Driven Advertising (or Online Behavioural Advertising/OBA).

### Its main purpose is to provide companies involved in data-driven advertising across Europe the ‘AdChoices Icon’, a consumer-facing, interactive symbol that links consumers to an online portal, *www.youronlinechoices.eu*, where consumers can find easy-to-understand information about data-driven advertising as well as a mechanism for exercising informed choice over tailored, personalised ads.
