Data Privacy Week

Data Privacy Week is an annual global initiative held during the last week of January to raise awareness about data privacy and the importance of protecting personal information. This week-long event commemorates the signing of the 1981 Convention 108, the first legally binding international treaty on privacy and data protection.

 The PrISM team hosts multiple online events during this time that highlight privacy and information security best practices as they relate to the UBC community. If you would like to participate as a presenter, please email privacy.matters@ubc.ca.
