Privacy and security guidelines for humanitarian work with undocumented migrants
Abstract
Based on preliminary work with humanitarian organizations working with migrants in the US, we propose a set of Privacy Guidelines for Humanitarian Information Activities (HIA), in the context of undocumented migration. We discuss both technology and human risks in HIA, the limitations of privacy self-management, and the need for clear guidelines for HIA, such as the ones we tentatively suggest here.
