Editing Electronic Privacy Information Center (section)

== History ==
EPIC was established in 1994 by a group of privacy advocates and legal experts in response to growing concerns about the collection and use of personal data in the digital age. The organization was created to provide a platform for privacy advocacy and to monitor the intersection of technology, privacy, and civil liberties.

From its early days, EPIC has played an influential role in shaping privacy policy in the United States, advocating for stronger data protection laws and the preservation of privacy rights in the face of increasing government surveillance and corporate data collection. EPIC has been instrumental in filing legal challenges, submitting amicus briefs, and advocating for the adoption of privacy-friendly policies at the federal, state, and international levels.
