*Description: *
The right to privacy, recognized as a human right and enabler of other
individual freedoms, is regarded as pivotal to protect the privacy of
citizens from infringement on behalf of their governments or a third party.
Citizens have the right to choose whether to disclose and share their
personal data and must be able to dictate under what terms to do so. With
new technologies enabling personal data to be collected, stored and shared
in greater quantities and ease as never before, privacy and data
protections rights are of utmost relevance to open government efforts.
Governments must be transparent about the handling of citizens’ personal
data, and citizens must have the ability to hold their government
accountable in the handling of such.



Further, with more than 100 countries having enabled access to information
legislations, it is important to balance the right to privacy and right to
information so that privacy is not used as an excuse to prevent openness,
and that the approach to openness does not infringe into the privacy of
individuals – both rights must be balanced in a case-by-case basis.



During this webinar, the authors of the Privacy and Data Protection chapter
<http://www.opengovguide.com/topics/privacy-and-data-protection/?lang=en> of
the Open Government Guide <http://www.opengovguide.com/> -Carly Nyst and
Javier Ruiz- will provide an overview of the chapter and discuss some of
the commitments included in it. The Open Gov Guide was developed by the
Transparency and Accountability Initiative to serve as tool for governments
and civil society at the time of jointly developing and implementing their
OGP National Action Plans. It covers various cross-cutting topics developed
by expert organizations, and is currently available inEnglish
<http://www.opengovguide.com/?lang=es> and Spanish
