Digital Rights

Under the broader topic "Information society" the BIM currently works on statements and studies on data protection.

Data protection issues have gained in relevance over the last years and are related to several other human rights areas - such as measures taken in combatting trafficking in human beings or data collection about discrimination.

In addition, data protection is part of the Multi-Annual Framework of the European Fundamental Rights Agency, and BIM is involved in ongoing reporting on this topic for the FRA through its participation in the FRALEX network.
