Data Privacy Day
January 28, 2013

Data Privacy Day is led by a D.A.R.E. America partner organization, the National Cyber Security Alliance, a non-profit, public private partnership focused on cyber security education for all online citizens.
Data Privacy Day began in the United States and Canada in January 2008. The Day commemorates the 1981 signing of Convention 108, the first legally binding international treaty dealing with privacy and data protection. In our online world, data is free flowing. All of us - from home computer users to the largest corporations - need to be aware of the personal and private data others have entrusted to us and remain vigilant and proactive about protecting it.

Being a good digital citizen means being a good steward of data. Data Privacy Day is an effort to empower people to protect their privacy and control their digital footprint and escalate the protection of privacy and data as everyone’s priority.
