Frequently asked questions

We are a data privacy advocacy group that aims to create a safer digital environment for all, where individuals can exercise their right to privacy and security online without fear of exploitation or intrusion.

We are a diverse group of technologists, policy leads, entrepreneurs, and privacy specialists. We came together because we believe that data privacy is a fundamental right that is at huge risk during the age of AI.

Our purpose is to raise awareness and promote online privacy and to advance the education of the public in the subject of digital privacy. To do that we engage directly with brands to develop and improve consumer privacy protections and coordinate efforts to safeguard personal data by offering accessible and comprehensive resources.

Our charitable status is pending approval from the Charities Commission as soon as we submit, Trust 3.0 will be a nonprofit organisation, registered in the UK.

To become a member there is a small annual subscription fee that covers the administration costs of new members. The member or trustee that has invited you will be able to tell you more about that annual subscription cost.

As a nonprofit data privacy advocacy group we have a strict vetting process for organisations who want to sponsor our events.

We take people's privacy very seriously. Please make sure you have acquired written consent (in any form) from other participants before sharing material that includes them.For in-person events, we shall provide “camera shy” pins upon attendance.

People will be able to wear those pins to signal they do not want to appear in photos, social media posts etc. We expect all attendees and members to respect that decision.

For the time being we are using a symposium format where there is a key theme for every event and an expert speaker on that theme who introduces the topic and its nuances in 10-15 minutes. Following that, the event is free-form to allow people to hop in and out of conversations and exchange ideas. Certain events might involve roundtable discussions. If that is the case participants will be informed beforehand.

We welcome privacy sensitive corporations to become sponsors to our events. In order to become a sponsor, a member of our team will ask you for supporting information and will potentially ask clarification questions.

If you wish to support the movement you can do so by donating to our cause. For the purpose of transparency related to the operation and goals of the organisation, we currently only accept individual donations.
