The Digital Index is a collection of global digital policies and initiatives that aim to protect and empower consumers. In a fast-moving world where digital technologies are constantly evolving and breaking down barriers, it is really important to share knowledge and insights on how best to deliver policy and practice for a digital world consumers can trust.

The Index, which has been funded by German Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection (BMJV), is a resource for policy-makers, businesses and civil society to inspire them to create policy and practice that will ensure everyone benefits from the opportunities brought by digital innovation.
