</p> <p>Who is behind noyb? How did this project start?</p> <p>
Max Schrems has brought a number of successful legal cases in the area of privacy and data protection. His cases (e.g. against Facebook and the EU-US Safe Harbor Agreement) were widely reported, mainly because no one so far has brought cases in this area. Max has for a long time circulated the idea of a professional privacy enforcement NGO (similar to consumer rights organizations), that takes care of this issue on behalf of users that are usually unable to bring cases against large corporations. This idea was supported by many people and is hopefully becoming a reality through noyb.
Christof Tschohl successfully challenged data retention laws and is the Chairman of epicenter.works engaged in securing your online rights and freedoms.

Do the Board Directors and the members of noyb work on a pro bono basis?
What will noyb focus on? …and why?
noyb does not plan to be directly involved in issues of government surveillance, because they are often already being addressed by existing NGOs or local political groups. Additionally, national government surveillance groups are much better equipped to challenge violations because government surveillance can usually not be challenged on a European level, but in the relevant national courts of the government in question. At the same time, noyb will be aiming to cooperate with groups in this sector.
Wouldn’t it be the job of Data Protection Agencies (DPAs) to enforce privacy rights?
noyb will neither try to replace nor bypass DPAs, but function as a non-government organization that brings important issues to the attention of DPAs, enforces the law in civil court or directly engages with companies.
The upcoming new data protection regulation (“GDPR”) recognizes that NGOs can be an important watchdog for human rights and foresees special rights under Article 80 of the law. noyb wants to bring Article 80 to life on a European level.
