January 20, 2026

By: Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Practice

Data Privacy Day is recognized globally each year on January 28 as an international effort to raise awareness regarding the importance of secure privacy practices and data protection. The date commemorates the signing of Convention 108 in 1981, the first legally binding international treaty focused on privacy and data protection. This annual event encourages individuals and organizations to understand their rights and responsibilities when it comes to safeguarding personal information online.

In today’s digital landscape, privacy and data protection are critical for businesses of all sizes and across all sectors. The legal landscape surrounding data privacy continues to evolve rapidly, with new laws and regulations emerging at both domestic and international levels. Staying informed is essential to ensure compliance and maintain best practices.
