Beyond the Basics: Expert Opinions on the Evolving Landscape of Data Privacy on Data Privacy Day

Each year, on January 28th, we acknowledge Data Privacy Day – a global initiative committed to spreading awareness and advocating for best privacy and data protection practices. This initiative echoes in the United States, Canada, Nigeria, Israel, and across 47 European countries.

The origins of Data Privacy Day can be traced back to the European Data Protection Day, commemorating the signing of Convention 108 on January 28, 1981 – the first international treaty addressing privacy and data protection. Fast forward to 2009, and the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate officially recognized this day as National Data Privacy Day. In 2023, the National Cybersecurity Alliance extended the observance into Data Privacy Week, themed “Take Control of Your Data.”
