Join the activities of Data Privacy Day 2009!
Posted by Leonardo Cervera under News, Post Data Privacy Day
Five states (North Carolina, Oregon, Washington, Massachusset and California) have already declared 28 January 2009 Data Privacy Day, and House Resolution 31 is pending to proclaim national Data Privacy Day!
Spread the word and encourage data privacy events! It is very easy: you may organise a brown bag lunch to raise awareness or or you can download educational materials and give a talk to teenagers of a nearby school.
Congratulations to the public and private organisations that have already associated themselves to Data Privacy Day 2009:
Intel, International Association of Privacy Professionals, the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, the Information Technology Association of America, the Sanford Institute of Public Policy at Duke University, the Institute for Homeland Security Solutions, the Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security, the European Commission, the Duke Center for European Studies, Center for Democracy and Technology, Quintiles, The Privacy Place at N.C.

You know what the cruel irony is? 228 of the members of the U.S. House of Representatives who voted for the toothless resolution 31 voted last year to kill data privacy in the USA. They voted for the FISA Amendments Act, which made the idea of data privacy a joke. It allows the U.S. government to grab whatever data it wants whenever it wants, despite what our Constitution says. Do these people really think that we’re too stupid to notice this hypocrisy?

SEATTLE, WA – January 28, 2009 – The Authentication and Online Trust Alliance (AOTA) today officially recognized World Data Privacy Day, by publishing its “top-ten” list of privacy principles and business practices. These guidelines many of which have been widely adopted by AOTA members over this past year, are a call to action for brands to help maximize consumer confidence and therefore spur economic growth.
