What will happen in your session?

Participants will work with the (new) European data access rights and explore what these can mean for both their work and their private life.

After a very short intro about these rights, the group will explore and question the assumptions and expectations of which organisations have what data on us. Participants will subsequently work in pairs to create and submit an access request. We will reconvene with the entire group to discuss experiences and thoughts: What was easy? What was harder? What were you not expecting? Finally, we’ll brainstorm ideas about how access requests can inform our activism and journalism, or otherwise play a role in our lives.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

Participants will feel empowered to take control of their data. They will use this new skill to gain more insight into their own data trails (perhaps even making it a common practice when they buy something from a new online store or create a new profile somewhere!), as well as to inform their and others’ work. We will be inspired with new ways of how access requests can be used in activism and journalism, and will use the feedback to create and share more positive stories and experiences around data rights.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

Time needed

60 mins

Heya! Could we make some small changes to the text in order to make it more valuable for people reading about the session through the app? We were thinking:

Title: Lost and found: get access to your data! Description: How can data access requests inform our activism and journalism, or otherwise play a role in our personal and working lives? After a short introduction into our (new) data rights, we will explore our expectations of which organisations have what data on us. Participants will subsequently work in pairs to create and submit an access request. We will reconvene with the entire group to discuss experiences and share thoughts on how we can benefit most from the General Data Protection Regulation.
