The Association

About us

Data Privacy Brasil is an organization that was born from a partnership between a school and a research association with the aim of promoting a culture of data protection and digital rights in Brazil and around the world. To achieve this purpose, we have the support of a multidisciplinary team and offer training, events, certifications, consultancies, multimedia content, public interest research and civic audits. These initiatives aim to promote fundamental rights and values ​​linked to social justice in the face of contemporary technologies and datafication processes. Through education, awareness raising and mobilization of society, we seek a democratic society in which technologies are at the service of people's autonomy, dignity, and reduction of power asymmetries.

 

Our vision 

We believe that the protection of personal data is one of the foundations of democracy and it needs to be considered from the perspective of social justice and power asymmetries. We work to promote a culture of data protection and to ensure that digital rights are fundamental rights for everyone, carrying out research that is open to the public, guided by a strong social commitment and with ethical funding.

We are a non-profit, non-partisan civil society organization that promotes the protection of personal data and other fundamental rights from a perspective of social justice and power asymmetries.

We believe that guaranteeing digital rights for everyone is one of the foundations of democracy. Through the development and dissemination of knowledge and information of public interest, we seek to promote a culture of data protection, guided by a strong social commitment and ethical financing.

Ethical and Transparent Financing Policy

We believe that ethical funding is a key element in an independent non-profit organization. Our ethical and transparent financing policy establishes criteria that allow donations to be made ethically and based on our principles, thus providing for situations where a donation may be rejected or considered incompatible. The Policy determines an independent evaluation system for donations above two hundred thousand reais and sets the functioning of the Independent Reviewers Group.
