Privacy International, the European Disability Forum, and a Finnish Disability forum representative issue statement warning that Finland's new social welfare legal reforms pose threats to human rights, including the right to privacy.
In 2024, Privacy International (PI) and Women on Web (WoW) surveyed sexual and reproductive justice (SRJ) activists to gather their concerns and experiences with privacy and surveillance when conducting their work in digital spaces. Based on their feedback and experiences, we have created a practical guide that SRJ activists can use to help protect their privacy online and to secure their devices.
After the UK data protection authority founded that the UK Government’s GPS tagging of migrants arriving to the UK by small boats and other “irregular” routes was unlawful, PI continued to monitor and research the Home Office's policies and practices relating to the GPS tagging of migrants. In this piece we present our findings.
The UK parliamentary committee’s report following their investigation into electronic monitoring and GPS tagging questions its use in the context of immigration and highlights the ethical and legal concerns of this practice, as raised by PI.
As we mark International Migrants Day, we share how PI and our partners have advocated for the rights of migrants by safeguarding their privacy and protecting their data.
