As support systems are being digitised and automated to improve efficiency, Privacy International has raised concerns about the impact of these changes on the rights of people with disabilities.

It is, therefore, essential for implementing bodies and oversight mechanisms to prioritise privacy and data protection in the use of new technologies.
