A Curated List of GDPR Resources

Simply Secure is dedicated to helping designers and developers build technology that protects people’s privacy and security. Thus we welcome the upcoming EU regulations for data protection, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as a promising step in taking seriously people’s rights to privacy and security online.

Over the past few weeks (and leading up to the deadline of May 25, 2018), we have collected some resources and examples that we found helpful or interesting. We hope that these tools and checklists will help smaller organizations get some last-minute advice and explainers.

GDPR-compliance is the minimum of what we need to do as ethical designers, and it is only the start of a conversation we all need to engage in. These are exciting times!

Technologies like Awala bridge digital divides and provide opportunities for people to connect safely, even when traditional infrastructure and politics might block their access. As part of the OTF Usability Lab, we performed a heuristic review of Awala and a review of the developer experience. Here we highlight the Developer Experience (DX), where we provided recommendations to make it easier for third-party developers to adopt the technology and suitable use cases.
