Data Privacy Day

Data Privacy Day is an annual event designed to promote awareness about privacy and education about best practices. The day promotes awareness about the many ways in which personal information is collected, stored, used and shared.

"As people across the globe continue to integrate the Internet into their daily lives, it becomes increasingly important that everyone understands privacy in the digital age, how to safeguard their data and own their online presence," says Michael Kaiser, executive director of NCSA.

The international awareness initiative also commemorates the signing of Convention 108, which is the first legally binding international treaty dealing with privacy and data protection, recognizing the individual's right to protection of personal information as a fundamental freedom.
