Privacy First — class actions for privacy rights
Foundation for class-action lawsuits on privacy violations. Has notably challenged Schiphol facial recognition and Dutch surveillance law.
Privacy First is a Dutch foundation conducting strategic lawsuits for privacy rights. Unlike Bits of Freedom (policy-focused), Privacy First is procedural — they litigate. Notable cases: lawsuit against Schiphol about mandatory facial recognition, proceedings against the WIV2017 ("dragnet" law), complaint against automated licence-plate recognition. When to Privacy First? If your case affects a larger group and could set legal precedent. Not for individual GDPR requests. How? Contact form on privacyfirst.nl. No phone line. Assessment within weeks — only cases with strategic significance are accepted. Combination: Privacy First doesn't do what AP does (enforcement) or lawyers do (individual claims). Often a Privacy First case runs parallel to AP investigations + civil claims.
