The Madrid Privacy Declaration: Global Privacy Standards

[Robin Gross]

Consumer and individual rights to privacy face significant challenges
in an online environment.  The Madrid Privacy Declaration attempts to
safeguard privacy rights -- and is now open for signature to
individuals around the world!   Quite a few NCUC members have already
supported this privacy declaration and now we need support to go
viral and global.

If you support the Madrid Privacy Declaration also, please forward
(and post) the below Call to Action through your own individual
networks and environments.  Help us to bring more supporters to the
statement that reaffirms privacy as a fundamental human right in the
Internet-age.

Thanks very much!

Best,
Robin


PLEASE TAKE ACTION: Support the Madrid Privacy Declaration

Civil society groups and privacy experts are urging countries around
the world to safeguard privacy, a fundamental human right.
Governments and corporations are gathering too much information on
individuals, with too few protections. New systems of
identification, tracking and surveillance threaten the rights of
citizens and consumers.

At the recent meeting of privacy officials in Madrid, a  declaration
was issued that reaffirmed basic privacy laws, identified new
challenges, and recommended concrete actions. The Madrid Privacy
Declaration is an important document that  makes affirmative
recommendations.

Now the Madrid Privacy Declaration is open for signature to
individuals around the world. And we need your support!
