International privacy sweep

The Global Privacy Enforcement Network (GPEN) Privacy Sweep is an annual initiative aimed at increasing awareness of privacy rights and responsibilities, encouraging compliance with privacy legislation and enhancing co-operation between international privacy enforcement authorities.

Each year, authorities select a theme and examine the privacy communications of a particular product or service under that theme to determine what personal information is being collected, how it is being used, how it is protected and to whom it may be disclosed. Conclusions on best practices and how organizations could improve privacy protections are compiled and made public.
