Children’s digital rights, data sharing for the public good, and government access to personal data were in the spotlight at the 43rd Global Privacy Assembly.
The IPC co-sponsored resolutions on each of these topics, working with data protection and privacy authorities from around the world to bring them to the global stage.
The resolutions were adopted by the international membership at this year’s assembly, which took place virtually from October 18-21, 2021.
