Courts and specialist tribunals have the power to rein in government and corporate data exploitation. PI invests substantial resources in pursuing court challenges designed to protect our privacy. PI also aims to be as transparent as possible with regard to how we conduct our litigation, including by making most court filings and related materials public when we're allowed to. You can read more about our cases, and access those materials, through the links below.
