ABOUT DATA PRIVACY DAY:
Data Protection Day was established in 2006 by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe to coincide with the anniversary of the opening of the Council of Europe's Convention 108 for the Protection of individuals with regard to the automatic processing of personal data. This has been the cornerstone of data protection in Europe and beyond for more than 30 years. Data Protection Day activities within Europe remain officially led by the Council of Europe.
Data Privacy Day began in the United States and Canada in January 2008 as an extension of the Data Protection Day celebration in Europe. Data Protection Day commemorates the Jan. 28, 1981, signing of Convention 108, the first legally binding international treaty dealing with privacy and data protection. The National Cyber Security Alliance, a nonprofit, public-private partnership promoting cyber security and privacy education and awareness, leads the effort in North America.
