This cluster focuses on three main objectives. First, protect the privacy of the human actors involved in any technological process. Second, ensure transparency and integrity of data flows and related privacy policies (both public and private); this is integral to improving the accountability of such organizations to the general public. Third, understand how much the government should regulate privacy and how access to data privacy can be assessed as a fundamental human right.
