In modern society, the tools we use in our daily lives—our cell phones and computers and the applications they run, our watches and fitness devices, our vehicles and “connected” devices in our homes—have been engineered to record our communications, location information, and activities. The corporations that engineer these devices profit from storing and sharing our personal data; they can use it to manipulate our choices and to secure their power in the marketplace, political spheres, and otherwise. Inevitably, they intrude upon our private affairs, storing and sharing far more information than they are permitted by law or through explicit consent. On their own, consumers face nearly insurmountable hurdles to safeguarding their right of privacy.
Regardless, fundamental privacy rights are encoded in the Dutch Constitution, the General Data Protection Regulation, the European Convention of Human Rights, the laws of all member states and the laws of foreign regimes. To ensure that consumers have the full benefits of their legal protections, and have due recourse when those rights are violated, requires action. The Data Privacy Stichting (“Foundation”) is a Netherlands-based claim foundation created to protect universal privacy interests.
