Information is a fundamental part of activism. Whether we collect, process, share, or just cling to it, data can be lost or damaged and privacy can be violated. This introductory workshop is intended to show the most common ways in which handling data can endanger people and causes. The aim is to raise awareness of the importance of data protection measures and to familiarise participants with data protection techniques and instruments.
