Announcing the Data Protection and Privacy Guides

The Data Protection and Privacy team (DPP) is releasing a series of guides designed to help Mercy Corps staff and partners better understand and implement responsible data practices. The guides combine existing Mercy Corps policies and guidance documents, simple tutorials, and links to other resources in a range of formats and languages.

We have created these guides as a response to requests from program teams and partners for localized content, more detailed information, and practical examples. We envision the guides becoming a shared resource among Mercy Corps’ staff, partners, and our broader network of responsible data practitioners that will evolve over time as technology changes and as partners and communities add additional content based on their specific context.
