Rethinking Digital Privacy in the Hyperconnected World

At Privacy Next, we are at the forefront of thought leadership on how digital privacy is understood in today’s complex world. Our lives and interactions with others are primarily in the digital space, which provides convenience but also raises concerns about how our personal information is handled. Our vision is to stimulate an active debate on what digital privacy means today, ensuring that personal privacy is respected without compromising societal security or imposing unnecessary barriers to economic progress and innovation. 

In a world defined by constant connection and powerful processing, digital privacy can no longer depend on old assumptions about data control. Digital privacy needs to be embedded in the way data is governed — through accountability, transparency, and trust. The next generation of privacy means protecting individuals effectively and enabling society to benefit from innovation and data-driven progress. It means moving beyond compliance to design a system that actually works in practice.

At Privacy Next, we believe this balance is essential to Europe’s future — to its competitiveness, its digital confidence, and its commitment to human dignity.
