Brussels Privacy Declaration

Die Arbeitsgruppe Polizei, Geheimdienste & Militär in Aktion Freiheit statt Angst e.V. hat die Brüsseler Datenschutzerklärung unterschrieben.

Dazu ein Zitat aus Brüssel: "Es werden immer noch weitere UnterzeichnerInnen gesucht (am besten wirken natürlich immer ganze Verbände und Vereine). Die Schlacht geht gerade erst richtig los."

Das sind die Forderungen der Brüsseler Datenschutzerklärung:

Privacy is a fundamental human right, but today this right is widely ignored. We are outraged.

We are outraged, because

we, the citizens, are now kept in hundreds of databases, mostly without our knowledge or consent,
over 1,200 companies specialise in trading our personal data, mostly without our knowledge or consent,
every time we browse the internet over 50 companies now monitor every click, mostly without our knowledge or consent,
we are constantly being categorised and judged by algorithms and then treated according to the "perceived value" we may or may not bring to business without our knowledge and consent, and
lobbying is currently replacing European citizens' voices and manifest concerns.

We call on the Members of the European Parliament and the governments of all European Member States to enhance and enforce our privacy rights.

We expect the new European rules on data protection to ensure:

The protection of all personal information including identifiers of hard- and software
Recognition that every European citizen has the right to effectively control his or her personal information
Explicit, strong and informed consent for processing of our personal data
No more coupling of service usage to personal data use (no more 'take-it or leave-it' online)
Transparency of data processing and data sharing practices.
'True' data portability to promote competition and reduce "lock-in" and achieve information self-determination
Strong protection against secretive profiling of citizens, both on- and offline
Effective redress mechanisms and sanctions imposed on companies and government bodies that do not respect the law

The future of Europe needs privacy, and we need you to defend this fundamental right now.
