Data Privacy Week – January 27 – 31, 2025
Your data is valuable. Many people and businesses would pay top dollar for it and they don’t all have your best interests in mind. But you have the power to take charge of your data. This is why we are excited to celebrate Data Privacy Week every year!
The Data Privacy Week is to spread awareness about online privacy. We think data privacy should be a priority both for individuals and organizations. Our goal is to empower people to better manage their data and to encourage organizations to treat their users’ data with respect.
The theme this year is – Take Control of Your Data:
- . KNOW THE TRADEOFF BETWEEN PRIVACY AND CONVENIENCE
