Digital Rights Compliance Ranking 2024 has been compiled by experts from the law firm Digital Rights Center Qazaqstan (DRCQ) in cooperation with Ranking Digital Rights (RDR).
This research project was launched by DRCQ to conduct an independent study aimed at assessing policies and practices of digital platforms in Kazakhstan. The research focuses on the disclosure of information in the context of relations with government agencies, compliance with the standards for the protection of digital human rights, and measures to ensure users’ rights to freedom of information and personal privacy.
We aim for our research to serve not only as an assessment but also as a tool to encourage companies to comply with international standards regarding the protection of digital and consumer human rights, including users' rights to information and privacy.
We believe that open and constructive dialogue with companies can foster greater trust and transparency between businesses and users.
For digital platforms that prioritize the protection and respect of human rights, the Digital Rights Rating team offers "roadmaps" through this rating to guide the development and operation of online platforms and digital services in accordance with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
