January 28th is Privacy Day (DPD)! DPD is observed globally on January 28th, and is an opportunity to raise awareness about privacy, including easy ways to protect your personal information. The National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCSA) recognizes that individuals feel an increasing lack of control over their personal data, and offers privacy related “Calls to Action” on their About Data Privacy web page.
Other DPD related resources include:
- NCSA sponsored Manage Your Privacy Settings web page. This page provides direct links to privacy settings on popular devices and services, which will allow you to conveniently and safely review your privacy settings. Remember to review your privacy selections periodically as privacy options may change, and if not reviewed and re-specified, they may revert back to default settings.
