Overview
Mission
The International Data Law Association supports the International Data Law Forum, an independent, non-partisan and nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting interest in and understanding of global data laws and regulations with respect to emerging cross-border data matters, including data protection, cyber security, information governance and e-discovery, by educating and facilitating conversations among regulators, judges, in-house counsel, practitioners, technologists and privacy professionals through in-person conferences and webinars.
What it reported doing in 2025
International Data Law Association in 2025 hosted a two-day legal educational conference in Berlin, Germany. The International Data Law Forum was attended by over 100 lawyers, judges, data privacy experts, and data privacy regulators from the US, UK and EU.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
