PLEASE TAKE ACTION: Support the Madrid Privacy Declaration
<br>
----------------------------------------------------------------
<br>
<br>
Civil society groups and privacy experts are urging countries around
<br>
the world to safeguard privacy, a fundamental human right.
<br>
<br>
Governments and corporations are gathering too much information on
<br>
individuals, with too few protections. New systems of identification,
<br>
tracking and surveillance threaten the rights of citizens and
consumers.
<br>
<br>
At the recent meeting of privacy officials in Madrid, a declaration
<br>
was issued that reaffirmed basic privacy laws, identified new
<br>
challenges, and recommended concrete actions. The Madrid Privacy
<br>
Declaration is an important document that makes affirmative
<br>
recommendations.
<br>
<br>
Now the Madrid Privacy Declaration is open for signature to
<br>
individuals around the world. And we need your support!
