On January 28th, the world will celebrate Data Privacy Day, a national day initiated in 2007 by the Council of Europe. This date marks the signing of Convention 108 in 1981 in Europe, the first legally binding international instruments dealing with privacy and data protection.


Every year, Data Privacy Day is the opportunity to raise awareness around data privacy and the protection of personal information. It is a time to reflect, educate and promote the regulations, technologies, and actors that contribute to data privacy worldwide. 


In this article, we bring you a list of events and resources on the topics of data privacy and protection!
