Data Privacy Day | A New Era in Privacy

Data Privacy Day is celebrated every January 28^th. Led in the U.S. by the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA), it is a day for individuals and businesses alike to focus on the most current privacy issues. This year, the campaign aims to build awareness by encouraging individuals to “Own Your Privacy” by learning more about how to protect their valuable data that is online, and businesses to “Respect Privacy” by taking responsibility for keeping individuals’ Personally Identifiable Information (PII) safe from unauthorized access and ensuring secure data collection and processing.

In honor of our commitment to data privacy and this global data protection initiative, we’ve gathered some of our most valuable resources to help you safeguard sensitive personal and business information.
