Quintessenz is a Vienna-based digital rights group.

Info:

Together with different clusters of cyber liberties groups from five continents quintessenz has run worldwide information kampaigns since 1996. Our main topiqs are the current governmental and private sector surveillance overkill, new data retention law proposals by the EU, the Council of Europe or the so called G7 states that undermine fundamental rights: freedom of information, the right to personal privacy and data integrity, the right to communicate freely.

At the moment they feature a new campaign:

Datamining the NSA: An inquiry into the strategies, methods and actors of the “Biometrics Consortium” an NSA led incubator project in the field of biometrics.
