The Global Privacy Assembly’s vision is an environment in which privacy and data protection authorities around the world are effectively able to act and fulfill their mandates, both individually and in concert, through diffusion of knowledge and supportive connections.
This part of the website supports the Assembly’s vision to maintain supportive connections by making available the networks within the respective regions for participation of GPA members. Moreover, this furthers the mission to disseminate knowledge, and provide practical assistance, to help authorities more effectively to perform their mandates.
The list of regional networks provided herein are those that currently involve GPA member authorities and/or the staff of GPA member authorities. A brief description of each network is provided and its relationship with the GPA.
