Public Interest Work
Most decisions about your privacy are made in rooms you will never enter. We work to make sure someone in those rooms understands the technology, and speaks for the people it affects.
01 Strategic Influence
Strategic Influence
Surveillance rarely arrives announced. It arrives as a clause in a draft, a quiet amendment, a technical annex few people read. We read them, and when a proposal threatens fundamental rights, we bring the technical reality to lawmakers, journalists and civil society, together with lawful, workable alternatives.
Digital Rights Advocacy
When measures like Chat Control reach the table, the difference between passage and pushback is often one credible technical voice. We work to be that voice, defending end-to-end encryption with evidence, not slogans.
Public Interest Investigations
Some surveillance practices only change once they are documented. We investigate how personal data is really collected and used, and publish what we find, so the press and public can act on it.
Publications
Data banks profit from personal information most people never knew they surrendered. Our published research puts names, numbers and methods to that quiet trade.
Pro-Bono Work
No single organisation outweighs a surveillance lobby. Alongside NGOs, academics and privacy groups, we lend our expertise where it counts most, free of charge, in the public interest.
02 Public Awareness & Education
Public Awareness & Education
Even the strongest privacy protections fail quietly when nobody understands them. Through lectures, workshops and publications, we turn complex privacy and security topics into plain language, so people can defend rights they did not know they were losing.
Guest Lectures
Talks at universities and institutions, such as our guest lecture at CZU, showing audiences what OSINT can reveal about them, and how to take that advantage back.
Workshops
Hands-on sessions where individuals and teams trace their own digital footprint, then learn, step by step, how to shrink it. Practical technique over theory.
Frequently asked
A few of the questions we hear most often about our advocacy and education work.
What does CzechAlert's advocacy work actually involve?
We engage with lawmakers, journalists and civil society to defend digital rights in the public interest. That means monitoring surveillance legislation, providing evidence-based expert input, and explaining the technical reality behind proposals such as Chat Control, always with lawful, workable alternatives.
Can you help our organisation respond to a specific proposal?
Yes. We prepare clear, technically grounded briefings and testimony that committees, regulators and the media can act on. Tell us which measure concerns you and we will outline its real-world impact on privacy and encryption, and where the genuine risks, and the safeguards, lie.
Do you give lectures and workshops for universities and teams?
We regularly deliver guest lectures, such as our session at CZU, and hands-on workshops on privacy, OSINT and digital self-defence. Sessions are tailored to the audience, from students and academics to corporate teams who need to reduce their digital footprint.
Is your advocacy politically affiliated?
No. Our position is principled, not partisan: privacy is a fundamental right. We work with anyone, across the political spectrum, NGOs, academics and industry, who is willing to protect end-to-end encryption and hold data-collecting institutions to account.
How can we support or collaborate on your campaigns?
We build coalitions with privacy organisations, researchers and journalists to amplify a unified voice for digital freedom. Whether you want to co-author research, host an event or join a campaign, get in touch and we will find the right way to work together.
