Providing solutions to respect and protect your Digital Rights The IO Foundation is a non-profit organization born from a fundamental concern on the state of Digital Rights in the world. We aim to raise awareness on the importance of Digital Rights and seek to help in promoting the creation of a Universal Declaration of Digital Rights (UDDR) with the collaboration of other organizations, both from civil society and bodies of governance.
