“Data Privacy Day highlights our ever-more connected lives and the critical roles consumers and businesses play in protecting personal information and online privacy,” says Michael Kaiser, executive director of NCSA. “Our personal information and our habits and interests fuel the next generation of technological advancement like the Internet of Things, which will connect devices in our homes, schools and workplaces. Consumers must learn how best to protect their information and businesses must ensure that they are transparent about the ways they handle and protect personal information. The future holds tremendous opportunities for improving our lives through connected technologies, but we can only build a safer, more trusted internet if everyone works in collaboration to make respecting and protecting personal information a priority.”

In North America, the Data Privacy Day initiative is officially led by the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA), a nonprofit, public-private partnership dedicated to promoting a safer, more secure and more trusted internet.
