Hiperderecho

What Hiperderecho does

Hiperderecho is a Peruvian non-profit civil association (asociación civil sin fines de lucro) founded in 2012 and headquartered in Lima, dedicated to researching, educating on, and advocating for rights and freedoms in digital environments. The organization does not develop commercial technology products; instead it operates at the intersection of law, technology, and public policy, producing research, legal analysis, public consultations, and educational programs on AI governance, privacy, data protection, internet governance, surveillance, freedom of expression, and child online safety in Peru. Its work spans policy advocacy (legal reform proposals, participation in public consultations and UN processes) and capacity-building (training for students, activists, and professionals), with related projects including Habeas Corpus, Ciudadanía Bajo Ataque, Transformación Digital para Todes, and the Foro de Gobernanza de Internet Perú.

The business model is non-commercial: Hiperderecho is funded through grants, donations, and international cooperation rather than paid products or services. Its distribution is open-access via hiperderecho.org, with engagement amplified through email newsletters, social media, research publications, and convening events such as the first in-person UA Day Peru 2026 organized with ICANN and UNESCO. Customer segments are constituents rather than buyers: Peruvian citizens, civil society organizations, human rights defenders, and government institutions seeking digital rights expertise and policy analysis. The organization is independently governed as a civil association with no parent company, holding entity, or external investor control disclosed.

Strategic positioning is anchored in international coalitions including the Global Digital Justice Forum, the Global Network Initiative's MAP-AI project, the Centre for Communication Governance at National Law University Delhi, ICANN, and UNESCO, which collectively give Hiperderecho outsized policy influence relative to its size and enable South-South collaboration on AI governance and digital rights.
