Mission & Goals
Data Rights' purpose is to: - Promote and defend users' rights (both individuals and businesses) over their data, and their freedom to control the technology surrounding them; - Strengthen and defend fundamental rights and freedoms in the digital era, including the right to the respect of people's privacy, home and communications, the right to personal data protection, the right to security in using hardware and software, the freedoms of information, expression and assembly, the freedom to create and innovate (and their related rights), the freedom to conduct a business, and the rights to effective remedy and to a fair trial. The use of digital technology by a specific actor in a way that bears disproportionate or unacceptable risks, or harms individuals, is therefore covered by our purpose. In doing so, Data Rights raises awareness and upholds cultural and intellectual diversity, freedom of thought and conscience, as well as respect for fundamental environmental rights.
