The European Resolver Policy is an industry-led initiative that sets out best practices for the protection of personal data by DNS resolver operators in Europe in response to the GDPR.[1] It was developed in recognition of most users' lack of understanding of DNS and concerns over being tracked and data monetized.[2] Key figures: Andrew Campling, of 419 Consulting, Andrey Meshkov, of AdGuard, Richard Malovic, of Whalebone, Vittorio Bertola, of Open Xchange, Ken Carnesi, of DNSFilter, and John Todd, of Quad9.[3]
