PRESS RELEASE. WASHINGTON - Today, the National Cybersecurity Alliance, announced the program for its third annual Data Privacy Week campaign, which will take place from January 22nd to January 27th. Throughout the week, NCA will emphasize the critical significance of digital privacy for both consumers and businesses through a series of educational webinars featuring experts from various industries.
Online presence generates a significant amount of data collected by websites, apps, and companies globally, including details about interests, purchases, and behaviors.
This even includes information about a person's physical well-being, like health data from apps.
While you can't control every bit of collected data, it's crucial to assert your right to data privacy.
Empower yourself by adopting repeatable behaviors to actively manage your data.
In addition to a collection of publicly available educational materials, NCA is hosting a series of events featuring privacy experts, policymakers, and engineers to promote the campaign's core theme.
These events aim to foster interactive discussions, share insights, and provide practical strategies for individuals and businesses to navigate the evolving landscape of data privacy effectively.
Data Privacy Week builds on the success of Data Privacy Day which began in the United States and Canada in January 2008 as an extension of Data Protection Day in Europe.
Data Protection Day commemorates the January 28, 1981 signing of Convention 108, the first legally binding international treaty dealing with privacy and data protection.
