Almost every conceivable opportunity, celebration, anniversary and memorial has become a Hallmark holiday, and this week’s is no exception, as we celebrate ‘Data Privacy Week’.
Data Privacy Week educates users about online privacy, how to identify whether their personal information is being used, and what measures should be taken to prevent data breaches.
The holiday also encourages companies to stop misusing data collected and be accountable about how consumer data is being collected and used.
Data Privacy Day is a global effort to empower individuals and encourage businesses to respect privacy, safeguard data, and enable trust.
Every year, a single day is dedicated to recognizing the importance of data privacy and being informed about how information is being used, collected, or shared in our digital culture.
The purpose of Data Privacy Day is to raise awareness and promote privacy and data protection best practices.
It is currently observed in the United States, Canada, Nigeria, Israel and 47 European countries.
Happy Data Privacy Week!
