DPO-CONNECT & HEROES (OZR EU BONUS) (OZR3876)

DPO-CONNECT: Firstly, the project will result in an improvement of the knowledge of the profiles of the target group, their concrete challenges and needs for support. The second result will be the empowerment of the target group as they will receive different types of practical support to better exercise their function. Consequently, this will lead to a strengthened data controllers’ and possessors’ compliance with the GDPR. Ultimately, this will by itself enhance the level of protection of personal data of citizens. Lastly, the transfer of the project’s experience to national DPAs is expected to impact the way they interact with their own stakeholders.

HEROES: project is structured as a comprehensive solution that
encompasses three main components: Prevention, Investigation and Victim Assistance. Through these components, our
solution aims to establish a coordinated contribution with LEAs by developing an appropriate, victim-centred approach that is
capable of addressing specific needs and providing protection. The HEROES project’s main objective is to use technology to
improve the way in which help and support can be provided to victims of THB and CSA/CSE.
