International Cooperation
Privacy knows no borders. ODIPA connects with advocacy organizations worldwide to coordinate strategy, share intelligence, and build a stronger global movement for digital rights.
100% FreeData flows across borders in milliseconds, but privacy protections remain fragmented by jurisdiction. ODIPA's International Cooperation program addresses this gap by building relationships with privacy advocacy organizations around the world — sharing research, coordinating advocacy positions, and providing capacity-building support to emerging nonprofits in regions where privacy infrastructure is still developing. Our international work is entirely charitable, reinforcing our core mission with a global perspective.
