What does DPA stand for? Guessing it's not Drug Policy Alliance, the first hit on Google.


Data protection agency. Eg, Australia: https://www.oaic.gov.au/ UK: https://ico.org.uk/ EU: https://www.edps.europa.eu/_en , etc.


Data Protection Authority

"Under the law the Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) should enforce our rights in each EU member state."

in this context, DPA usually means Data Processing Agreement.

I’m assuming GP meant DPO, for Data Protection Officer, the person responsible for enforcing GDPR (or similar laws) in a company.
