The Universal Privacy Alliance has appointed Amelia Andersdotter as its interim director. 
Andersdotter, a long-time advocate for internet privacy, will focus on strengthening UPA’s operations and promoting privacy-focused technologies, according to a press release shared with crypto.news. 
The UPA, formed in 2023, brings together <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/Web3/" target="_blank">Web3</a> companies, including Nym Technologies, Protocol Labs Network, Filecoin Foundation, Oasis, and Aztec. These companies <a href="https://crypto.news/nym-partners-with-zcash-to-bring-network-layer-privacy-protections/" target="_blank">aim to protect</a> digital privacy and ensure secure online interactions.&nbsp; 
The alliance <a href="https://privacyalliance.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">promotes</a> the “privacy by design” principle, ensuring that platforms are built with user privacy and security as default features. UPA’s efforts are especially significant as regulatory frameworks like the EU’s eIDAS and the Digital Services Act challenge privacy and encryption standards in the Web3 space. 
It also works to prevent personal data from being exploited or monitored.
