This resource would not have been possible without the incredible work and commitment of our partners. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">As you will see they have been designed as living documents which will be subject to reviews and edits, and overtime we publishing briefings on other countries too. We are committed to ensuring the on-going development of these, and the ones to come, remain a collaborative process and so readers and users will pay an important role in enabling us to provide information that is correct, relevant and useful. So we encourage people to send us feedback. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">In the next few days we will be disseminating it with guest blogs from the different contributors from the Privacy International Network, as well as through social media (@privacyint), and looking further ahead we will be creating and seizing opportunities to share them widely.
