The ACLU of Puerto Rico is fighting to protect your right to privacy and freedom from surveillance. You can help by learning about your digital rights, supporting stronger privacy laws, and sharing our advocacy to hold tech companies and government agencies accountable.

Technology should protect our rights — not undermine them. The ACLU of Puerto Rico uses advocacy and litigation to build transparency, accountability, and equity in the digital era.

Government Surveillance: Monitoring and data collection without due process violate basic constitutional protections.

Facial Recognition: Unregulated use by law enforcement threatens personal privacy and can lead to discriminatory outcomes.

Digital Discrimination: Technology can perpetuate racial and economic bias in hiring, housing, and policing.

Data Protection: Weak privacy laws leave citizens vulnerable to misuse of personal information by both corporations and government.
