Happy Holidays and a creative 2023!
We hope that the new year will offer more opportunities for all to protect digital rights and raise awareness among all – especially those who have a responsibility towards citizens, especially children.
When we know how to protect our personal data, we protect ourselves, others and everyone’s right to self-determination and legitimacy.
Merry Christmas and best wishes for a happy new year
