It was held for the first time in 1979 as the International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners. For more than four decades, it has functioned as a platform for meeting leaders in the field of personal data protection. This is achieved through the joint efforts of organizations from 6 continents – a total of one hundred and ten accredited members and sixteen observers from across the globe.
The Mission of the Global Privacy Assembly is:
