About Data Privacy Day

Data Privacy Day is an international effort held annually on January 28 to empower individuals and businesses to respect privacy, safeguard data and enable trust.

As College employees, we are entrusted with substantial amounts of personal information about learners, alumni, donors, faculty, and staff. Respecting and protecting the confidentiality of this information is our shared responsibility.

With data privacy being a fundamental concern for the College community, the ITS Cyber Security Unit has expanded Data Privacy Day to a month of activities starting in 2021.
