?? Celebrating International Data Protection Week with ITS ??? This week, as the world comes together to recognize the critical importance of privacy and data protection, we at the Institute for Technology and Society (ITS) reaffirm our commitment to empowering institutions, organizations, and citizens in Kosovo to safeguard their digital rights. Our efforts in data protection reflect the theme of collective action—uniting stakeholders and fostering a shared responsibility for privacy through three key pillars: 1?? Training and Capacity Building We have trained professionals across public institutions, private companies, and civil society organizations to tackle the challenges of protecting personal data. These training programs empower individuals to take proactive roles in building secure and compliant systems. 2?? Awareness and Advocacy Recognizing the importance of informed communities, we’ve partnered with the Information and Privacy Agency for impactful campaigns that raise public awareness about digital rights and the importance of protecting personal data. Through webinars, podcasts, and other outreach activities, we’ve sparked important conversations about privacy and its role in a sustainable digital future. 3?? Research and Insights Our studies highlight the pressing issues and opportunities in Kosovo’s data protection landscape: ?? "Legal Landscape of Digital Rights in Kosovo" – a comprehensive analysis of privacy and digital rights regulations. ?? "Challenges and Regulatory Obligations for Large Data Processors in Kosovo" – a critical look at compliance for key players managing vast amounts of personal data. ? Together, these pillars aim to foster a privacy-first culture, aligning with the global call for stronger safeguards in the digital age. This International Data Protection Week, let’s commit to making privacy a priority for all. ??
