UNHCR's General Policy on Personal Data Protection and Privacy (GDPP)
Section titled “UNHCR's General Policy on Personal Data Protection and Privacy (GDPP)”UNHCR’s General Policy on Personal Data Protection and Privacy (GDPP) brings the Agency’s longstanding human rights-based approach to data protection and privacy in line with modern and global standards in this area.
This policy introduces a data protection framework for the collection, use and sharing of personal data of all individuals (‘data subjects’). This includes the people we serve as well as UNHCR donors, partners and personnel. The policy thereby builds upon UNHCR’s existing Policy on Protection of Personal Data of Persons of Concern to UNHCR from 2015, which will continue to be in effect as a part of UNHCR’s data protection framework.
