Action area 1: Survey and Feedback

The first action area of BROAD is focusing on exploring the opinion, values and attitudes of those target groups which exert a decisive impact on the possibilities and limitations of people’s privacy in today’s “information society” (multipliers), and feeding back the results to the target groups’ professional forums and formation, and to common knowledge. To achieve this objective, (a) face-to-face interviews and (b) a dedicated online survey will be conducted in two specific target groups in both countries:

1. IT professionals (including the ones who work in explicit rights-restricting areas such as surveillance systems, border control etc.) – in other words, those who are making (designing and operating) IT systems processing personal data; and

2. Principals, i.e. those who are commissioning these systems and paying these IT professionals, namely

(i) bureaucrats and decision makers, and

(ii) business managers of service providers and operators, including small and medium enterprises (SME)

This activity is lead by the Tilburg Institute for Law, Technology and Society (TILT) of the Tilburg University, in consultation with EKINT and CEU.

The results will be fed back in both countries and in international forums in the above areas:

  • the organizations of IT professionals
  • the formation of the target groups
  • the internet forum to be established by the present project
  • publications including ICT relevant periodicals and conferences
  • through intermediaries such as NGOs and ombudsman institutions
  • in international data protection and privacy networks
