Data Privacy Day/Month 2013
The U.S. Congress also realized the importance of a day dedicated to data privacy awareness and in 2009 passed resolutions recognizing Jan. 28 as National Data Privacy Day.
Data Privacy Month is an annual effort to empower people to protect their privacy and control their digital footprint, as well as escalate the protection of privacy and data as everyone’s priority. Spend the month helping to ensure your institution/GPLS and community is respecting privacy, safeguarding data, and enabling trust.
