Data Privacy Day is January 28, 2010
For many of us technology has made it easy to stay connected and get things done while on the go! At any time we can set up a reunion with college buddies on Facebook, text friends we’re meeting after work at a restaurant, and post tweets during a concert... but what have we given up for this new found freedom?
Along with technological advancements are the worries of how much personal information is collected, stored, used and shared to provide convenient and pervasive tools and services.
Thursday, January 28th is Data Privacy Day, an international celebration of the dignity of the individual expressed through personal information. In this networked world, in which we are thoroughly digitized, with our identities, locations, actions, purchases, associations, movements, and histories stored as so many bits and bytes, we have to ask – who is collecting all of this – what are they doing with it – with whom are they sharing it? Most of all, individuals are asking ‘How can I protect my information from being misused?’ These are reasonable questions to ask – we should all want to know the answers.
