What is the Digital Pact for the Protection of People?
The Digital Pact for the Protection of People promotes privacy as a strategic asset for public and private organisations. It encourages transparency, responsible data handling, equality, and ethical use of technology, aligning privacy rights with business innovation, ethics and competitiveness.
The Pact invites organisations to commit to ethical and transparent data management, protecting personal data and privacy rights for clients, users and employees, while embracing digital transformation responsibly.
Why Join the Digital Pact?
Transparency & Informed Use of Personal Data.
Organisations must clearly communicate what personal data is collected, why, how it is used, and ensure users have easy access to that information.
Ethics, Equality & Protection of Vulnerable Groups
Promote gender equality, safeguard children and other vulnerable individuals, and ensure digital practices do not perpetuate discrimination or bias.
Responsible Innovation & Ethical Tech Use.
Guarantee that technologies, especially data-driven or automated ones, respect civil rights, avoid discriminatory or biased algorithmic decisions, and safeguard privacy.
Respect for Fundamental Rights
Uphold privacy, confidentiality and dignity of individuals in all digital processes.
By adhering to the Pact, organisations commit to implementing these principles internally and promoting them among employees, clients and users, contributing to a safer, fairer digital environment for everyone.
