As a proud 2025 Data Privacy Week Champion, PTS upholds and promotes the fundamental principle that every organization bears the responsibility of being a diligent guardian of personal information and privacy protection.
Data Privacy Week serves a dual mission: raising awareness about digital privacy protection among both individuals and organizations. The initiative aims to empower individuals with knowledge about their data management rights while helping businesses understand the critical importance of respecting and protecting user data.
At PTS, data privacy and personal information protection are a cornerstone of our values. Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing valuable insights and actionable recommendations for businesses across our social media platforms. We invite you to connect with us on your preferred platform to stay informed about this year’s essential privacy protection initiatives.
Managing Your Digital Footprint for Privacy Protection
Every digital interaction creates data. From websites and applications to retail outlets and service providers, organizations collect information about behaviors, preferences, and transactions. This often includes sensitive personal identifiers, such as Social Security numbers and driver’s license details. The scope extends to physical metrics, exemplified by smartwatch technology tracking health indicators like step counts.
While complete control over every data point may be challenging, you’re not without options. Through strategic steps, you can effectively manage your data sharing practices. Remember: your data holds significant value, and you have every right to be discriminating about its distribution.
About Data Privacy Week
Data Privacy Week evolved from Data Privacy Day, which was established in the United States and Canada in January 2008, extending Europe’s Data Protection Day celebration. The observance commemorates the signing of Convention 108 on January 28, 1981 – the first legally binding international treaty addressing privacy and data protection. The National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA), North America’s premier nonprofit public-private partnership for cybersecurity and privacy awareness, spearheads this annual initiative.
