About Data Privacy Week

Data Privacy Week commemorates the January 28, 1981 signing of Convention 108, the first legally binding international treaty dealing with privacy and data protection. Since 2009, resolutions passed by Congress have supported the designation of January 28th as National Data Privacy Day in the United States. Since 2022, the Data Privacy Day campaign has been expanded to Data Privacy Week.
