Data Privacy Week

Your Data is Valuable.

Even if you disagree, a lot of businesses and organisations would pay a lot of money for it, and not all of them have your best interests in mind. However, you have the authority to control your data. We are happy to commemorate the second Data Privacy Week because of this.

Data Privacy Week aims to raise public awareness of online privacy issues. For both individuals and companies, data privacy should, in our opinion, be a top priority. Both educating individuals about their ability to manage their data and assisting corporations in realizing the value of treating user data with respect are vital to us.

Data: The Story of You

All your online activity generates a trail of data. Websites, apps, and services collect data on your behaviors, interests, and purchases. Sometimes, this includes personal data, like your Social Security and driver’s license numbers. It can even include data about your physical self, like health data – think about how a smartwatch counts and records how many steps you take.

While it’s true that you cannot control how each byte of data about you and your family is shared and processed, you are not helpless! In many cases, you can control how you share your data with a few simple steps. Remember, your data is precious, and you deserve to be selective about who you share it with!

Follow these steps to better manage your personal information and make informed decisions about who receives your data.

For Organizations: Respect Privacy

To foster trust and improve reputation, it's essential to respect the privacy of your stakeholders, including clients, employees, and other stakeholders. 79% of adults say they are concerned about how businesses use their data, according to the Pew Research Center. You can distinguish yourself from the competition by being transparent about how you utilize data and respecting privacy.
