The future we want

Freedom and privacy will be the foundations of tomorrow's societies.

PI campaigns for the progress we all deserve. We’re here to protect democracy, defend people's dignity, and demand accountability from the powerful institutions who breach public trust.

We want a world where people and communities are informed, society’s institutions are prepared to act, government and corporate actors are on notice.

What we want

Companies must protect privacy by design, not exploit people and their data.

PI challenges companies to change their behaviours.

Governments must uphold and extend the rule of law, to protect human rights as technology changes.

PI holds governments to account for their powers.

Technologies, laws, and policies must contain modern safeguards to protect people from exploitation.

PI seeks protections for everyone

People and communities must be able to protect their data and rights, resist and object to exploitation by governments and industry.

PI educates and mobilises people

A global movement, empowered people and groups across the world capable of holding the powerful to account.

PI supports and mobilises advocacy and research communities across the world

People must be protected everywhere, under a universal rights framework.

PI has led the push for privacy to be recognised globally.
