Goals / Remit
IT-Political Association of Denmark (IT-Pol) is a Danish digital rights organisation that works to promote privacy and freedom in the information society. We promote privacy for citizens and transparency and openness for government. Our work focuses on the interplay of technology, law and politics.
Information and communication technology can be used to give citizens more freedoms or subject them to more surveillance and social control, depending on the technology choices that are made by legislators, government and private companies. Currently, counter-terrorism initiatives by the government, commercial profiling on the internet, and the whole "big data" industry (public as well as private) are tilting the balance towards more surveillance, more data collection and less privacy for citizens. At the same time, the government is becoming less transparent and more secretive.Main EU files targeted
Data protection, e-Privacy, data retention, e-evidence, Europol, passenger name records (PNR), net neutrality, copyright, platform regulation (DSA) and encryption

Other financial info
The budget covers expenses for IT, meeting activities, campaign materials, and the membership fee of EDRi. Since IT-Pol is a volunteer organisation without an office (mainly operating virtually), there are no expenses for staff or office rent.
The limited budget is funded by a small membership fee (15€ annually) for the members of IT-Pol (only private individuals can be members). IT-Pol does not accept funding (donations) from companies.
In 2021, IT-Pol extraordinarily received a donation from another civil society organisation (Patientdataforeningen, also volunteer-based) which dissolved its operations and requested to donate the remaining funds (about €5,000) to IT-Pol. Normally, member's contribution will be the sole source of funding. -

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
