Dear all

(with apologies, as my previous email included an incorrect link).

Please find the correct email below:

I am writing here to share, in case of interest, the fifth installment of GPD's Travel Guides to the Digital World series.  Just as a travel guide introduces tourists to the customs, language and geography of a foreign land, the series aims to equip human rights defenders with the information needed to navigate complex areas of internet-related policy from a human rights perspective.

Previous guides in the series have focused on internet governance<https://www.gp-digital.org/publication/travel-guide-to-the-digital-world/>, digital surveillance<https://www.gp-digital.org/publication/travel-guide-to-the-digital-world-surveillance-and-international-standards/>, cybersecurity<https://www.gp-digital.org/publication/travel-guide-to-the-digital-world-cybersecurity-policy-for-human-rights-defenders/>, and encryption<https://www.gp-digital.org/publication/travel-guide-to-the-digital-world-4-encryption-policy-for-human-rights-defenders/>.

The latest installment, the <https://www.gp-digital.org/publication/travel-guide-to-data-protection/> Travel Guide to the Digital World: Data protection for human rights defenders, offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the world of data protection, explaining the history of personal data processing, the key debates, why they relate to human rights, and where – and how – human rights defenders can engage.

To accompany the guide, we'll also be publishing a series of short analyses of draft data protection legislation. The first, on Kenya, is already out, and do stay tuned for the rest! You can find it here<https://www.gp-digital.org/data-protection-on-the-ground-1-kenyas-draft-bill/>.

Please do feel free to share the guide with any colleagues, partners or networks. We also strongly welcome your feedback so if you have any thoughts or comments, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Best
Sheetal.
