We design a privacy-preserving data proxy mechanism within the FIWARE Data Space framework, utilizing searchable encryption to ensure metadata confidentiality. The system is engineered to enable secure and efficient data querying, hiding the queries from the proxy and other data in the proxy from the querying agent. Recognizing the necessity of regulatory compliance, this paper integrates GDPR compliance modules into the FIWARE Data Space architecture, addressing data collection, storage, sharing, and erasure processes to enhance global applicability and regulatory adherence. In essence, we preserve metadata privacy. Experimental evaluations demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed query privacy mechanisms, focusing on metadata confidentiality and system scalability in data-intensive environments.
