About Data Privacy Week
What is Data Privacy Week? 
The goal of Data Privacy Week is to spread awareness about online privacy. It commemorates the first legally binding international treaty dealing with privacy and data protection, signed on January 28, 1981. It is observed annually in Canada, the U.S., various European countries, and other countries across the rest of the world.
