About Us
Hellenic Association of Data Protection & Privacy is a non-profit group of professionals with a passion to exchange, analyze, communicate and educate on the ongoing issues of data protection, privacy and security.
Networking
HADPP is also the perfect venue to exchange invaluable cross-sector networking opportunities.
Forum
HADPP is also a forum that encourages any stakeholder that seeks an opportunity to be part in one of the most vivid ongoing dialogue on the total change of what we knew so far about privacy and data security. Effective responses will continue to depend on clear-eyed assessments of risks and broad engagement across the markets, electronic or not.
Our Aims
HADPP aims to raise public awareness on potential risks, to acknowledge vulnerabilities and help improve business response and standards to data protection through multidisciplinary practice and collaborative information. So we follow a hands-on approach by both advising and also making practical suggestions, especially on upcoming legal framework (GDPR, DPOs, PIAs, PETs, ePrivacy, accountability etc.)
Raise Public Awareness...
By assisting the spread of the data protection knowledge and through the creation of a public dialogue forum that will welcome and encourage any interested natural or legal person to participate in the shaping of an ideological, but at the same time also practically feasible, proposal platform for the overall management of the protection of private life and data security.
Acknowledge Vulnerabilities...
By promoting the study and research pertaining to the institutional framework for the protection of personal data and privacy, the guaranteeing of the safety of IT-systems and electronic communications services, the compliance with the applicable legislation, especially with regard to vulnerable groups, such as children, the defence of the rights of citizens, and the making of interventions in public opinion via press releases.
Improve Business Response...
By establishing an effective platform for an open dialogue that will enhance the analysis, the communication and the education of the parties involved (data subjects, security officers, data processors, mediators and supervisory authorities) in the ongoing matters concerning the EU data protection framework and their application in the everyday practice of private and public sector businesses.
Multidisciplinary Practice...
By attracting professionals from several knowledge and market sectors to participate on the principles of free expression, the encouragement of pluralism, and the promotion of a democratic and constructive dialogue between ordinary citizens and the entities that are engaged in the relevant field, government and independent bodies and supervisory authorities, and the scientific community.
