Data Privacy Day was being celebrated for the 9th year this January 28th. Known as Data Protection Day in Europe, the date comes from the Convention for the Protection of individuals with regard to Automated Processing of Personal Data, which was opened for signatures at the Council of Europe on that date in 1981. A plethora of organizations, from regulatory authorities to cybersecurity organizations to industry trade groups to businesses across the globe are getting involved. The goal is to raise awareness among consumers about data privacy issues and encourage businesses to respect privacy in their operations and products. –
