28th January is celebrated as Data Privacy Day. This international day empowers individuals and businesses to respect privacy and build trust. In recent years, enterprises and people have expanded the special day to a whole week of several events.

On 26th April 2006, the Council of Europe introduced the data privacy day. After that, each year, it is celebrated on 28th January to commemorate Convention 108- the 1st legally binding international treaty on data protection, which was signed in 1981.

Since the inception of Data Privacy Day in 2007, global privacy laws have transformed tremendously. Comprehensive laws like the CCPA, GDPR, and LGPD place strict rules and regulations on businesses and grant new regulations to people. This day represents an excellent opportunity for enterprises and people to raise awareness of security and privacy, regularize best practices, and discuss why privacy is important.
