App developers share data with Facebook through the Facebook Software Development Kit (SDK), a set of software development tools that help developers build apps for a specific operating system. Using the free and open source software tool called "mitmproxy", an interactive HTTPS proxy, Privacy International has analyzed the data that a number of Android apps transmit to Facebook through the Facebook SDK.https://media.privacyinternational.org/static/web-videos/339ebe05-15c6-4bc8-afed-e383ae9e94a7-1080.mp4https://media.privacyinternational.org/videos/embed/339ebe05-15c6-4bc8-afed-e383ae9e94a726165692019-03-28T16:58:37.454ZFacebookAndroidCorporate ExploitationConferenceData ExploitationYESChris' ChannelNOhttps://media.privacyinternational.org/w/8f6DAPvRGNHap2LcEwEpezhttps://media.privacyinternational.org/lazy-static/thumbnails/fd9be70d-d966-471d-9865-d87e9c100818.jpgWhat we found: Facebook routinely tracks users, non-users, and logged-out users outside its platformMore here: https://privacyinternational.org/report/2647/how-apps-android-share-data-facebook-reporthttps://media.privacyinternational.org/static/web-videos/3aa7dd41-43f0-4009-92fc-691db058e69f-1080.mp4https://media.privacyinternational.org/videos/embed/3aa7dd41-43f0-4009-92fc-691db058e69f2750902019-03-28T17:39:59.536Zfacebookcorporate surveillancedata exploitationprivacy internationalYESChris' ChannelNOhttps://media.privacyinternational.org/w/7zVySBTDcJUpe3YqoAZK1xhttps://media.privacyinternational.org/lazy-static/thumbnails/53048c76-1d07-45e8-ae90-b6c8971d3116.jpgWhat Is Privacy?This video is a high level overview of why privacy is important. Privacy ensures that democracy is possible by allowing citizens to have safe spaces to discuss ideas, grow, and learn. PI investigates the secret world of government surveillance and exposes the companies enabling it and litigate to ensure that surveillance is consistent with the rule of law. We advocate for strong national, regional, and international laws that protect privacy. We conduct research to catalyse policy change. We raise awareness about technologies and laws that place privacy at risk, to ensure that the public is informed and engaged. To ensure that this right is universally respected, we strengthen the capacity of our partners in developing countries and work with international organisations to protect the most vulnerable.

We were in Kyiv to hear about people's experience monitoring online disinformation – a big issue in this election. Activists in Ukraine have long experience navigating the noisy and chaotic environment that disinformation creates – which comes not only from Russia, but also from domestic politicians and others with money and power. At PI, we’re working to make sure that the way data is used by political actors and advertisers does not facilitate the breakdown of democratic structures – and social platforms are an important player in this work. Facebook is Ukraine’s most popular social media platform and political candidates are increasingly using it to reach new voters. The company took some actions to increase political ad transparency in the weeks leading to the presidential election, but those we spoke with expressed frustration at these steps, including how last minute the steps were implemented. To many we spoke with, it seemed that some of what were meant to be protections, are instead hinderances to civil society. Increased transparency of ads and targeting on social media platforms is good, but the elephant in the room is that these companies' business models, which exploit user data, may be on shaky ground. Check out our piece to learn more about how civil society in Ukraine is fighting against disinformation. https://privacyinternational.org/feature/2822/truth-exists-you-have-find-it-fighting-disinformation-facebook-ukraine Music: Storm Horizon by Lee Rosevere (licensed under Creative Commons)https://media.privacyinternational.org/static/web-videos/db564a69-7fbe-4baf-9555-5b553ddffa6c-1080.mp4https://media.privacyinternational.org/videos/embed/db564a69-7fbe-4baf-9555-5b553ddffa6c1710632019-05-02T12:54:15.236Zprivacy internationaldataelectionsfake newsukraineYESMain channelNOhttps://media.privacyinternational.org/w/9kcd7ZQXZ64irSZMVpZcqchttps://media.privacyinternational.org/lazy-static/thumbnails/261e1d0d-4467-444f-8e86-02b4e48c5f4f.jpgPrivacy International's Supreme Court VictoryVictory!

But why stop short at spying on migrants themselves? In addition to gathering “data and analysis of relevant actors using social media: migrants; traffickers/smugglers”, Frontex also wanted to monitor “civil society and diaspora communities in destinations (EU).” At this stage, NGOs such as Statewatch and journalists at Mediapart had noticed the tender, leading to Frontex having to defend the project by claiming, to the bemusement of some of Privacy International’s data protection experts, that “the required service does not entail collecting, processing, sharing or storing of any personal data by the European Border and Coast Guard Agency”. So with that in mind, Privacy International set up an account on the procurement website, and asked them some pretty detailed questions to find out how they came to the conclusions they did, and if they had gone through the necessary checks to make sure their plan was legal. These questions were based on a single legal instrument, Regulation 2018/1725, which is the equivalent of the GDPR for EU institutions and is thus meant to regulate how EU bodies like Frontex process personal data. Similar to other questions, the agency would have had to publish the answers on the tender site. Two days later however, they mysteriously cancelled the contract while still facing questions as to whether such spying was even allowed under data protection regulations. https://media.privacyinternational.org/static/web-videos/9caa9bfa-ef73-4a38-9ea9-3d6f6e1ccaeb-1080.mp4https://media.privacyinternational.org/videos/embed/9caa9bfa-ef73-4a38-9ea9-3d6f6e1ccaeb6601432019-11-19T10:15:00.339ZEUborder agencyborder controlmigrationFrontexYESMain channelNOhttps://media.privacyinternational.org/w/akXJFhRSj3GgRskWLRDwFzhttps://media.privacyinternational.org/lazy-static/thumbnails/22723e8e-cd82-4c6a-b573-bcbad27ec662.jpgMobile phone extraction BBC May 2018Mobile phone extraction BBC May 2018https://media.privacyinternational.org/static/web-videos/4babba5d-6b65-44ab-9999-6a62e45bbb87-576.mp4https://media.privacyinternational.org/videos/embed/4babba5d-6b65-44ab-9999-6a62e45bbb875080212019-12-04T14:45:29.609ZYESMain channelNOhttps://media.privacyinternational.org/w/4TY2EfT6HDgH4bkjS8CMbAhttps://media.privacyinternational.org/lazy-static/thumbnails/a55ef2b6-3f44-411d-9d15-3c27b30e33ad.jpgPrivacy Fails and Wins 2019Music - junior85 - "Left For Deadish" licensed under Creative Commons What are some privacy wins and fails from 2019 that come to your minhttps://media.privacyinternational.org/static/web-videos/1f8ce08a-47e9-480d-a58c-2be1e9a3100a-1080.mp4https://media.privacyinternational.org/videos/embed/1f8ce08a-47e9-480d-a58c-2be1e9a3100a1060222019-12-16T11:25:17.083Zprivacy winsprivacy failsYESMain channelNOhttps://media.privacyinternational.org/w/4xfhpMxJNsEkstmR8r8L1whttps://media.privacyinternational.org/lazy-static/thumbnails/47211a78-5219-4e8d-b80d-ce0ea42ae9bd.jpgVideo podcast: what we read and listened to in 2019Millie and Gus chat about the top things they listened to and watched in 2019. **Top reads** Strangers in Their Own Land: Arlie Russell Hochschild Bad Blood: John Carreyrou Automating Inequality: Virgina Eubanks Network Propaganda: Yochai Benkler, Robert Faris, Hal Roberts Making Evil: Dr Julia Shaw Perfidious Albion: Sam Byers Lathe of Heaven: Ursula LeGuin Autonomous: Analee Newitz Cryptonomicon: Neal Stephenson The Nickel Boys: Colson Whitehead My Name is Why: Lemn Sissay Beloved: Toni Morrison Girl: Edna O'Brien **Top podcasts** Jon Ronson: The Butterfly Effect Fortunately The Missing Cryptoqueenhttps://media.privacyinternational.org/static/web-videos/1ca84667-b4c1-41be-97b1-17dc5532f696-1080.mp4https://media.privacyinternational.org/videos/embed/1ca84667-b4c1-41be-97b1-17dc5532f69625330192019-12-18T10:31:17.720ZRound upyear in reviewpodcastbooksYESPodcastsNOhttps://media.privacyinternational.org/w/5e74LkQPTTk8by7tDwX3Fphttps://media.privacyinternational.org/lazy-static/thumbnails/4ba445e5-f98c-429a-b6f7-fc90174ec0d7.jpgPodcast: Heartbeat International and anti-abortion data exploitationIn this podcast Sara Nelson of PI’s Reproductive Rights and Privacy Project talks about the US based international anti-abortion organisation Heartbeat International and the technologies they are developing for their international network of affiliate organisations.

Officials demand your phone, then disappear with it. What happened to your phone? What happened to your data? What will happen to you? We all generate vast amounts of data using our mobile phones - more than most of us are aware of - and that data has become increasingly attractive to law enforcement agencies around the world, enabled by ‘extraction technologies’ supplied by companies like Cellebrite.

We can’t believe we’re having to say this, but the hours after giving birth are private. If you’re a parent, you may have heard of Bounty, a sales and marketing company allowed access to hospital maternity wards and approach women who have just given birth. This doesn’t happen on any other hospital ward. Can you imagine coming round from major surgery to find a stranger trying to sell you stuff?

Unprecedented levels of surveillance, data exploitation, and misinformation are being tested across the world. Many of those measures are based on extraordinary powers, only to be used temporarily in emergencies. Others use exemptions in data protection laws to share data. Some may be effective and based on advice from epidemiologists, others will not be. But all of them must be temporary, necessary, and proportionate.

Using traffic analysis, we shed lights on the shady practices of companies that shared your most intimate data with Facebook and other third parties. In this talk we will go over the findings of this research, sharing the tools we have used and explaining why this is not just a privacy problem, but also a cybersecurity one. This talk will also be a call to action to app developers whose tools have concrete impact on the lives of their users. Does anyone – aside from the person you had sex with – know when you last had sex? Would you like them to know if your partner used a condom or not? Would you share the date of your last period with them? Does that person know how you feel on any particular day? Do they know about your medical history? Do they know when you masturbate? Chances are this person does not exist, as there is only so much we want to share, even with our most intimate partner. Yet this is all information that menstruation apps expect their users to fill. With all this private information you would expect those apps to uphold the highest standards when it comes to handling the data they collect. So, Privacy International set out to look at the most commonly used menstruation apps to find out if that was the case. Using traffic analysis, we wanted to see if those apps were sharing data with third parties and Facebook in particular, through the Facebook SDK. Our research shed light on the horrific practices of some menstruation apps that shared their users’ most intimate data – about their sexual life, their health and lifestyle – with Facebook and others.

We found out this week that the judgement in our case at the European Court of Human Rights challenging the UK’s mass surveillance programme of bulk interception, and the UK’s access to information gathered via bulk surveillance by the USA is coming very soon - on the 25 May. It’s been a long road, starting at the UK’s Investigatory Powers Tribunal in 2013, but this case would have happened without Ed’s revelations, which revealed the extent of those surveillance programmes. Which is why (around a year ago now) we sat down with him to talk about this case, mass surveillance and what we can do to fight back.

Why is it important? What does metadata reveal? Watch this video to find out and learn more. Privacy ensures that democracy is possible by allowing citizens to have safe spaces to discuss ideas, grow, and learn. PI investigates the secret world of government surveillance and exposes the companies enabling it and litigate to ensure that surveillance is consistent with the rule of law. We advocate for strong national, regional, and international laws that protect privacy. We conduct research to catalyse policy change. We raise awareness about technologies and laws that place privacy at risk, to ensure that the public is informed and engaged. To ensure that this right is universally respected, we strengthen the capacity of our partners in developing countries and work with international organisations to protect the most vulnerable.

Now, almost 2 years to the day, we're coming back to you with an update about how companies operating data broking services, as Bounty did, are causing headaches for brands using personal data for targeted advertising. Links More information about how Bounty illegally exploited the data of 14 million mothers and babies: https://pvcy.org/podillegalexploitation Sign up to our corporate exploitation email list to find out more about our work on brands and the advertising supply chain: https://pvcy.org/podsignup Original podcast: https://media.privacyinternational.org/w/2PhYpWK3YgefwkULPvc2i7 ---------- Orginally Recorded 12th March 2020. We can’t believe we’re having to say this, but the hours after giving birth are private. If you’re a parent, you may have heard of Bounty, a sales and marketing company allowed access to hospital maternity wards and approach women who have just given birth. This doesn’t happen on any other hospital ward. Can you imagine coming round from major surgery to find a stranger trying to sell you stuff? The physical invasion of privacy is bad enough, but delving into the company’s relationship with you and your baby’s personal data reveals some surprises.https://media.privacyinternational.org/static/streaming-playlists/hls/356f4b61-67d6-42cf-ab82-3fc9586ce356/0bc1c42e-2326-4410-bcdf-8ede27686969-master.m3u8https://media.privacyinternational.org/videos/embed/356f4b61-67d6-42cf-ab82-3fc9586ce35624240832022-03-03T18:47:06.645ZYESPodcastsNOhttps://media.privacyinternational.org/w/aDA6T43zYCVgkwjUM2rcrUhttps://media.privacyinternational.org/lazy-static/thumbnails/6df35a03-1f10-4d12-b6c9-6670dd101ed8.jpgNSO Group: Civil society's battle against government hackingThis week we're taking a look at NSO Group - a tech firm that sells a hacking capability to governments around the world - and government hacking more generally.

The Tribunal held that there were “very serious failings” at the highest levels of MI5 - the UK's domestic intelligence agency - to comply with privacy safeguards from as early as 2014, and that successive Home Secretaries did not to enquire into or resolve these long-standing rule-breaking despite obvious red flags. In this episode, we talk to Meg Goulding, a lawyer at the UK-based campaigning organisation, Liberty, who was a solicitor instructed on the case, and Nour Haidar, a lawyer and member of the legal team at PI to discuss what this ruling actually means for the ongoing fight against mass surveillance. The way our data was handled by MI5 amounts to a significant intrusion into potentially millions of people’s fundamental right to privacy. This case was a critical mechanism of holding MI5 accountable for failing to handle the data they hold in a lawful manner. Agencies tasked with protecting national security process huge amounts of sensitive information. Due to the nature of their work, their operations can’t be subjected to the same levels of scrutiny and transparency that we can demand of other government institutions, yet they are not above the law. That is why this case is so important: it is one of the only tools we have to ensure that our right to privacy is respected by the UK intelligence agencies.

If they’re not deported, they get released, but many have to wear an ankle tag which the Home Office can use to follow their movements 24 hours a day. But there don’t seem to be any rules about who does and doesn’t get tagged, and how the data these tags collect is used by the Home Office. So we bought some tags from the open market and tested them, to see how they work. #dignitynotdata #privacy #surveillancehttps://media.privacyinternational.org/static/streaming-playlists/hls/09f63ba1-d8cf-4ff7-8c04-e662fb4e5e9a/7539975e-c4aa-4d6f-8a4c-da6c2ed2f990-master.m3u8https://media.privacyinternational.org/videos/embed/09f63ba1-d8cf-4ff7-8c04-e662fb4e5e9a25951822023-05-12T10:22:32.961ZYESMain channelNOhttps://media.privacyinternational.org/w/hLqRKcJAWZdWWgpTa7o1y6https://media.privacyinternational.org/lazy-static/thumbnails/d18355df-9464-49c6-87c2-04e0b8d4faa0.jpgGPS tracking migrants in the UK: Who profits?This week we're discussing the UK Home Office's practice of forcing migrants to wear GPS ankle tags or carry GPS fingerprint scanners.

New figures reveal that the number of searches of the passport database has “skyrocketed” from 2 in 2020 to 417 in 2023, and an almost sevenfold increase from 16 searches of the immigration database in 2023, to 102 in 2024. The Home Office and police forces are conducting these searches against over 150 million photos of the public without a clear legal basis, and without informing the public or parliament. Privacy advocates from Big Brother Watch, Silkie Carlo, and Privacy International, Nuno Guerreiro de Sousa, have issued pre-action correspondence to the Home Office and Metropolitan Police and are calling for a moratorium on facial recognition searches of the passport and immigration databases.
