World Privacy Forum is a non-profit public interest research group founded in 2003 (though some sources say 2002) and based in San Diego, California, with a mailing address at 3 Monroe Parkway, Suite P #148, Lake Oswego, OR 97035 USA. It conducts in-depth research, analysis, and consumer education on privacy issues including medical identity theft, large data sets, and the financial sector, while encouraging collaboration among other non-profit organizations.
The organization is a nonprofit, non-partisan 501(C)(3) public interest research group that focuses on complex data ecosystems and their governance. Key areas of focus include health care data, AI and machine learning, identity ecosystems, biometrics, the financial sector, and work on vulnerable populations and inclusion, with a mission to illuminate data ecosystems with an empirical basis in facts.
World Privacy Forum provides a digital, interactive version of the Council of Europe's HUDERIA/COBRA assessment, which allows for conducting a systematic AI risk analysis and exporting the results. This tool is based on the CoE's official publication of the HUDERIA Methodology and Model: COBRA and is offered as a digital public good for session-only use with nothing saved.
The forum has published major reports on predictive analytics, health privacy, medical identity theft, data brokers, and large-scale digital data flows, and has testified before Congress about privacy and data brokers at least three times. Their research has been described as pioneering and consistently ahead of trends in these issue areas.
The forum frequently chairs or co-chairs international working groups focused on research and data governance, most recently at the WHO, UN, and OECD. It also works to encourage collaborative efforts among other non-profits and is among one of the only privacy-focused NGOs conducting independent, original, longitudinal research.
The forum is funded by the Rose Foundation Consumer Privacy Rights Fund, the California Consumer Protection Foundation, Cy Pres privacy settlements, general support funding from corporations, and individual donations. It has policies in place to facilitate and ensure the independence of its work.
