Int'l Information Protection Day today

The International Information Protection Day-2018 will be observed in the country as elsewhere in the globe today (Sunday), reports BSS.

"Respecting Privacy, Safeguarding Data and Enabling Trust" is the theme for International Information Protection Day-2018 or Data Privacy Day-2018, an international effort held annually on January 28 to create awareness about the importance of privacy and protecting personal information.

Data Privacy Day (DPD) is an effort to empower people to protect their privacy, control their digital footprint and escalate the protection of privacy and data as everyone's priority.

Data Privacy Day began in the United States and Canada in January 2008 as an extension of the Data Protection Day celebration in Europe.
